Matthew Hebert has been a pivotal part of the Northampton, Massachusetts music scene since his arrival in 1992.

With songwriting that flows effortlessly like the emotional content therein, Hebert has irrefutably earned his place among well know luminaries as one-time residents of the Pioneer Valley, (i.e.: Joe Pernice, Lou Barlow and David Berman).

The beauty of Hebert's compositions is defined by well-placed lyrics over bitter-sweet chords, delivering with a rasp as comforting as the melody itself.

He has toured the U.S. many times over with his band, Ware River Club, and he has supported such artists as Emmy Lou Harris, Bob Mould, Daniel Johnston and Richard Buckner. Hebert was voted best singer/songwriter in the Valley Advocate's 2004 Reader's Poll.

He is crrently preparing for the national release of his first solo full-length CD's in May 2005, Sugar on the Edge.
