Matthew
Ball left a career as an attorney in 2001 after he attended a local boogie-woogie festival, to
become a blues and boogie-woogie man.  Now, after a decade in the field,
with an array of accomplishments, he has distinguished himself as ‘one of
the best’ practitioners of the genre today. Described as ‘a nationally
emerging boogie-woogie master,’ Matthew is becoming one of today’s
leading performing authorities on this treasured American tradition.
