When Matt Button moved from Louisville, Ky to Nashville, Tn he landed a job at local favorite hang out spot Springwater tending the bar. He brought with him a handful of songs he had been working on during his years of playing drums in Kentucky. It wasn't long before he played them for Nashville audiences on the Springwater stage. True the Springwater's not the best place to play acoustic by yourself, but amidst the pool games and bar fights a few listeners took note. Soon Ben Martin, an in demand local musician who's played with Lambchop and Justin Earle, set up his drums and began backing Matt up. Other musicians joined up including Sami Elamri and Brian Nichols from the band Trophy, and Ryan Norris and Eric Williams from the group Character. Lone Official was born.
