There is perhaps, nothing quite as “Hollywood” as a Saturday night at The Viper Room. The bar is too small, too crowded, too dark, and too expensive—but the musical talent is second to none. This past Saturday night The Viper Room showcased some of the hottest up and coming talent in Hollywood. Matt Mann and the Shine runners opened the show with a country rock set that is more Shooter Jennings than Hank 3. It wasn’t punk or even outlaw country but just pure whiskey drinking southern rock. The crowd ate up Matt Mann’s cowboy-rocker stage presence and raspy Oklahoma twang. - The Hollywood Examiner

Bio
Matt Mann and The Shine Runners are an American rock/blues band formed in Los Angeles in November 2012 by the songwriter and Oklahoma native, Matt Mann. They released their first album Modern Day Outlaw in mid-2012 and their second album Southern States to the West Coast in 2013. Adam McDougall from the legendary band The Black Crowes lent his B3 organ and upright piano playing talents to both records.
With influences ranging from the Rolling Stones, Skynryd, ZZ Top, Willie Nelson and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Matt Mann and the Shine Runners deliver their brand of raucous and memorable blues-rock music to enthusiastic crowds. Their bluesy, boozy, two guitar rock sounds, transports listeners back into the early seventies, making the music timeless. Matt's unique style of singing gives the band their authentic sound and sets them apart from other mainstream rock bands.
They have recently licensed a song from Modern Day Outlaw in the feature film "Pawn Shop Chronicles" starring Paul Walker, Matt Dillion, Vincent D'Onofrio, Brendan Fraser, and Elijah Wood.
