In the summer of 2011, Matt wanted to throw a party and have a house band set up on the back of a flat-bed truck in his yard. A few local artists got together and played some original and cover songs for everyone that attended. The lineup included a solo performance by Kelly Girvan, an all-star bluegrass set with Mike Boyd (Boomer) and Jeff Ellis from the Maple Mountain Boys, a short but lively set from No Don’t Stop, the Mattapalooza house band played party favorites for a couple of hours and then, after the crowd dissipated, there was also a late night performance by The Hidden Tracks.
