Formed in North Carolina in 2012, Matty Begs has been bringing feel-good energy to stages ever since. Known for electrifying live shows, the band blends acoustic and electric sounds into a signature mix of party rock with touches of pop, reggae, and jam-band spirit. From beach bars and college stages to top East Coast venues, they keep crowds singing, dancing, and smiling all night long.

With three EPs and singles like Positive Momentum, Matty Begs pairs catchy originals with funky, crowd-favorite covers that put their own upbeat twist on songs from every era. One thing’s certain — a Matty Begs show isn’t just a concert, it’s a party.
