Matthew Philips was born in Fort Smith, AK and grew up around the Ozark and Kiamichi mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma. Although Matthew plays guitar and has sang at talent shows and churches, his main interest is in being a songwriter. "This song Rock-A-Billy By was inspired by the fact that, growing up, my family would get together and combine a lot of musical talent into sort of a late night hillbilly jam session. Some of the songs I heard I've never heard anywhere else! Both of my parents sang and played...Being as particular about music as I am, I would rather write songs and enjoy seeing better talents perform them!

The Matthew Phillips Band was put together by Matthew, to showcase his songs. The album was recorded and mixed in Goodwell, OK and mastered and manufactured out of Nashville, TN. The members that make up the project band are Matthew Phillips, Malcolm Sanders, Richie Rodriquez, & Brody Oakley.
