Matt is the driving force behind Snakebeard Jackson. He is in no way, shape or form related to that scoundrel Sean McFarland. Just kidding, they're cousins but you'd think they're brothers.

In a mostly folk oriented band, his frenetic drumming style is what lends the rock and roll to Snakebeard Jackson.

Although Matt, like Sean, comes from a musical past such as punk rock and heavy metal, these influences only contribute to the powerful rhythms that Snakebeard creates.
