About
Matagorda is Brett Humphrey with longtime collaborator, Adam Byram, with Ian Candler and Brent Miller. They've been playing music in Austin since the 90s. From surf, punk, country, electronic to psychedelic improvisations. They've performed in most of the reputable and disreputable venues in Austin. Their current collaboration, Matagorda, is an instrumental rock band blending spaghetti‑western atmosphere, surf‑driven guitar work, and cinematic desert swagger. Their sound sits somewhere between Ennio Morricone, early surf pioneers, and modern instrumental rock — reverb‑heavy, rhythmic, and built for wide‑open spaces. They deliver a dynamic live show that moves from dusty slow-burners to high‑energy surf‑rock gallops, making us a strong fit for venues looking for something atmospheric, distinctive, and crowd‑friendly
