Bio

The Midwest's own, Matt Poss Band returns with their 8th studio album, Beans And Bullets on November 26th, 2014.  For over a decade they have been weaving tales of small town life, good times and hard luck, straddling the fence between country and rock as if they invented the concept.  Always on the road, MPB has spent the last decade zigzagging across the United States, touring Europe twice and hitching rides on all sorts of military aircraft to entertain troops in Saudi Arabia and 'downrange' Afghanistan.

Mixing elements of country, bluegrass, rock and blues, MPB has earned a passionate and diverse fanbase that continues to grow, and it's about as organic as it can get.  Cowboys, rednecks, truckers, hippies, bikers and yuppies can be found arm-in-arm singing along to MPB songs.  Each fan won by live performance or good old fashioned word of mouth.

In the decade they’ve been together, MPB has released seven full-length albums, with the last five being on the band's own label - Bonfire Entertainment, LLC.  Over 30,000 albums sold is no small feat for any group in this digital day and age, but MPB has hit that mark and continues to chug along, one show and a few fans at a time.

The latest album, Bonfire Bootlegs: Songs From Bill Burry's All Request Lunch Hour, was released in October of 2014.  Despite a full schedule promoting the latest album, the band is already readying their next batch of songs for release, a tribute to the troops named Beans and Bullets.  The end result will be an album that encompasses the last 10 years of MPB. Seventeen songs that capture the essence of a road-worn and battle-scarred band of brothers who aren’t afraid to take risks and tell it like it is. That’s Americana. That’s old school. That’s the Matt Poss Band.
