Thicc from an early age, and gentle in nature, conventional social ladders proved challenging for a young Matthew Rieger. Homeschooled in the Pacific Northwest, he was nestled in to the church and given nothing but praise. After several debatably successful stints in music academia, he followed the only woman he ever loved to San Francisco. It was there that he would lose her, but find a love for songwriting. His debut half-length record “I’m Doin Well” reminds us to be comfortable with imperfection. Drawing inspiration from Jeff Buckley, The Barr Brothers, and Paul Simon, he finds peace in the melancholy. Largely recorded by himself, but built on the influence of remarkable friends, heroes, and bandmates in The Lil Smokies, it is a a candid look at the spirit of Matthew Rieger.
