DIRT's BIO

About Matt:

DRUMS/PERCUSSION

Born in Washington, D.C., raised in Temple Hills, Md, now residing in Nanjemoy, MD.  Matt felt the musical call early in life.  First starting with guitar at the age of 8, the keyboards at 10, a brief bass guitar influence at 12, and finally settling in on drums at 13.  First practicing on his mattress until he saved 120 bucks to purchase a 20" bass drum, broken hi-hat, and broken snare.  Drums felt more natural to him than anything else.  His main influences of course are Neil Peart, John Bonham, Nick Mason, Bill Ward, Carl Palmer, Clive Burr, just name a few.

"Although I can't come close to these guys, I will keep trying to perfect my playing as long as God is willing".

About Steve:

GUITAR/VOCALS

Born in DC and raised in the burbs, Steve grew up in the center of cultural diversity.  At the age of 15 he began pounding on cheap guitars to the tune of Black Sabbath and Rush, among others.  Before long his musical horizon expanded.  In a vain attempt to satisfy his growing musical appetite, creative freedom became paramount as he moved through a slew of classic rock, metal, and jazz bands.  Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah...........
