Matt Schumacher

About Me

Born in New Orleans, Matt Schumacher began playing music when he was 8 years old. Starting out on the trumpet, he soon switched to guitar with a heavy thirst for power cords and high leg kicks. At 18, he found the BASS and decided that it might be cooler to have larger, heavier and more tedious equipment to haul around. Matt has toured all over the country with various bands having opened up for the Violent Femmes, Wilco and the String Cheese Incident to name a few. Recently he did a New Orleans tribute tour with Funky Meters drummer Russell Batiste and trumpeter Carlos Washington. For the past year he has been touring with the San Diego funk powerhouse On the One (featuring John Staten of KDTU), and is now playing with Anthony Smith's Trunk Fulla Funk (featuring Charlie Hitchcock of Particle).
