Matt Lynott has been making music for 40 years. He grew up in La Jolla, California, where he was mentored by jazz great Chuck McPherson. Matt started playing with local friends Michael Andrews and Gary Jules (Donnie Darko, Mad World) at a young age. He played on two albums for Gary and formed a band with Michael called Elgin Park. He also played drums for the television shows, "Freaks and Geeks","Undeclared", and “Big Little Lies”.

The tight-knit and vibrant San Diego music scene spawned five bands; The White Buffalo, Elgin Park, The Jade Shader, Years Around The Sun, and the Truckee Brothers. In addition, he has toured with Rob Crow in Goblin Cock, Jason Falkner, and many others.  The White Buffalo has had numerous songs on popular shows such as Sons of Anarchy, Californication, The Punisher, This is Us, and Longmire. Matt has also performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Later...with Jools Holland, Last Call with Carson Daly, Guitar Center Sessions, and Rockpalast. 

Many albums and tours later, Matt released his debut solo project, self-titled, in 2012. “His songs have a sophistication and sensitivity to them, blending elements of jazz, and 60's pop, but with a healthy dose of experimentation and fun”. Two songs of his debut release, "I'll Be Back" and "Sriracha!" were used in award winning documentaries,"Crime After Crime", and "Sriracha".

Currently Matt is touring and recording with The White Buffalo. He continues to record for various artists. Recently he finished his 2nd solo album, "Goonga Galoonga”. He lives with his wife and son in San Diego.
