Originally hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Matty Ride grew up in the very stomping grounds and hometown of Bing Crosby. It’s there that his love for some of the great singers of the American Songbook such as Nat King Cole, Sinatra and of course Bing Crosby, took hold. Now based in Nashville, Matty Ride recaptures the spirit of the American Songbook through his original ‘Vintage Pop’ compositions. His clever rhymes, tongue in cheek topics and witty lyrics showcase an urbane sense of style and playfulness. Ask Matty Ride to describe his music and he’ll tell you with a laugh, “I’m just making the type of music your grandparents made your parents to”.

His new single ‘Sugar On The Side’ is out now. And, like honey and hot chicken, biscuits and jam, coffee and cream, everything goes better with a little sugar!  Just like love, it’s up to you to put in the right ingredients, “you make it up as you go, but it always goes better though, with a little sugar on the side.”
