Matt Enik got his start in Parkersburg, West Virginia at the age of 12 with a group of friends playing Eagles and James Blunt covers at old folks’ homes. He and his band of teenagers then traveled the state for five years playing festivals on flatbed trucks, dating fair queens, and writing a lot of songs. What started as a ploy to get a girlfriend became a passion that helped Matt gain the attention of a few folks in Nashville, who convinced him to look into moving. Which leads us to the present… In 2011, at age 18, Matt packed his guitars, moved to Nashville, racked up over $100k in college debt, bought a van and trailer, and took his new band out to meet more fair queens. He will graduate from Belmont University in May. Probably.
