Details
On stage playing piano, behind the board producing, or alongside an artist writing songs, Matt Rollings staunchly subscribes to a philosophy that powers all aspects of his creativity and has led him to become a two-time Grammy-winning and five-time Grammy-nominated record producer, as well as a Grammy-nominated arranger. As a young pianist, Rollings’ first and lasting influences were Ramsey Lewis, Oscar Peterson, and later, Bill Evans. His early love for jazz led to a scholarship at Berklee College of Music in the early 1980’s.
A fork in the road, courtesy of Lyle Lovett, took him to Nashville in 1986 where he quickly became one of the most sought after session players in the business. Since then, he has played on over 1,500 records for artists like Lyle Lovett, Bruce Springsteen, Alison Krauss, Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Luis Fonsi, The Chicks, and countless others.
