Born to not just one, but two human parents, Matt Mackey slid into the world with a holler and a song. Every song he writes, every show he plays, he says brings him closer to what he calls "The Upside". The upsidse of what? He won't say. With songs that conjur Bob Dylan and Tom Petty's lovechild with Joe Cocker; this is music of, by and for the people. 
After a bout with cancer in 2018, the brand new record "Matt Mackey and the Bad Decisions" is a return to form for a music man who's been criss-crossing the globe seeking inspiration for more than a decade.
