Matt's CD, "Gods and Heroes," was released
on Waterdog on April 4, 2000.
Singer-songwriter, producer of Matt's first CD,
and now Grammy nominated children's recording artist! All the info
is at RalphsWorld.com.
Songwriter, Pianist, Producer Michael Broening
produced Matt's first EP "Source" and played piano on
several tracks for Gods & Heroes.
Michael has written and produced songs for Marion
Meadows' recording Player's Club. Two songs from this record have
reached #5 or higher on the Jazz Radio Charts. The second single
peaked at #5 two years after the record was released.
Mike's favorite quote is: "We must save the
egg!"
Peter is one of Matt's favorite artists. A guitar
player's guitar player.
A songwriter's songwriter. A poet's poet.
Other than Dag Juhlin, perhaps the most entertaining man-with-guitar
act in North America. He's also quite a sensation in Ireland!

Dag Juhlin's new band The Greenwoods are 2006 America's answer
to the Who (took 'em 40 years to answer) Dag was CEO & front-boy
of the mythically poptastic band The Slugs for over 60 years and
is one of Matt's favorite performers. Dag is also a member of the
band Poi Dog Pondering (guitarist) . Any aspiring rock star MUST
see Dag perform. He is the hands-down king of banter. And he is
hands-up the Duke of Funny.

Tommi
Zender
Best name a guitar player could hope for. Better
guitar player than just about anyone you know. Some of Chicago's
greatest guitarists defer to Mr. Zender. Matt was lucky enough to
have Tommi play with the band and arrange the live versions of songs
from God's and Heroes as well as a dozen new songs. Tommi's solo
record "Will Work For Harmony" is a masterful recording
of some brilliant songs.

FRISBIE
Liam Davis, Zach Kantor, Eddie Carlson & Steve
Frisbie's band. What are the odds that a band would have a member
who's last name is the same as the name of the band? If you didn't
believe in miracles before . . .
One of Matt's favorite records is Frisbie's The
Subversive Sounds of Love.

One of the greatest singer songwriters ever to come out of Ottowa
IL (other than Jeff Vezain)

The greatest singer songwriter ever to come out of Ottowa IL
Front-man (vocalist) for Gary Sinise's band - The
Lt Dan Band
(other than Carey Ott)
Jeff has lent his stunning talent to the Matt Tiegler Band on
several occasions - both vocally and percusionally (it's a word
now)

Wonderful voice.
Award winning film actress.
Brilliant stage actress
(stole many a show in Matt's play "Damage Control")
Great songwriter and hilarious comedy songwriter who plays with
her husband . . . er . . musically. Ben Benedict (said husband)
can be heard playing his bluegrass off all over town and on the
radio WLUW Saturday mornings.
In-bred, bluegrass comedy
Need I say more?
Best acoustic music room in Chicago. Great food too.
Matt Studied guitar briefly with Gus
Friedlander, a multi-instrumentalist whose mastery of a multitude
of stringed blue-grass instruments will put any guitarist to shame
before Gus even opens his banjo case. Great guy and amazing artist.
