Matthew Eizenga + Musician in Littleton, CO

SEEKING

ABOUT

45 years old - toured from Pennsylvania to Chicago from Denver to Omaha- for over 10 years through college into my home in Colorado by way of Chicago (and Seattle, Orlando, Portland) music scenes in the early 2000’s.

I love pop rock- anything from Sam Cooke and Elton John to Dave Matthews, Smokey Brights, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, John Mayer, Ah-Ha, Prince, O Brother Where Art Thou?, and more- You name it; if it’s musical I love it and love to put together set-lists and write new tracks. For now just wanna chill and have fun… make some memories.

Saw some professional success in my musical career- had two song in decent rotation on the radio in the 2000’s on 93.3.

Got married had kids and want to play again. I mainly play piano and sing now started playing during the pandemic on the keys and can play most anything now- however before piano I spent decades playing guitar and toured as rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist and songwriter. Placed in a VH1 songwriters contest in 2008.

I have nearly any song from the1960’s to the 2020’s that I can learn. Exceptions are insane piano pieces. Anything in the pop rock, metal/rock (not new metal not too many piano players there in that space-) basically if it was on the radio we can figure it out for a bar or a fun party.
