Join us for a post Art Walk First Friday music event. Matthew and the Arrogant Sea (MATAS) will be giving an intimate performance in the speakeasy-style bar at Black Iris. This will serve as a warm-up session for their upcoming performance on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series. Starting at 9pm Friday March 7th, 321 West Broad. 
Matthew and the Arrogant Sea move effortlessly through different genres, rendering pop, country, folk, and psychedelic rock in spare and compelling forms. -  Prefix Magazine

Matthew Gray and the fifteen other members/collaborators that swim in and out of Matthew and the Arrogant Sea have seen something that no one else has seen. A straggly fleet of ships, each bearing a small, sweet story, drifted over some unknown ocean and into Gray’s head. -  Absolute Punk
