(TUCKERTON, NJ) -- The Lizzie Rose Music Room presents Jersey's own Matt O'Ree Band on Friday, January 23, 2026 at 7:30pm.  Here's your chance to catch them in an intimate venue before they head off for a long tour of tropical locations.

Over the past few years, the Matt O'Ree Band has done what most area bands do. They've played their shows, developed their sound, released their records and very quietly built a massive fan base in the process.  Combining the influence of Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix, Bad Company, Deep Purple, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, ZZ Top, and Rush, to name a few, the Matt O'Ree Band has taken all these diverse elements and forged their own unique true blues rock and roll sound. This led to being noticed by artists like Bruce Springsteen, David Bryan of Bon Jovi, Steve Cropper of Booker T and the MG's, John Popper of Blues Traveler, Bernie Worrell of Parliament-Funkadelic, and Hubert Sumlin all of whom volunteered to perform on the band's album, Brotherhood.

Eryn is an accomplished artist in her right. She won awards such as the BELK Southern Musician Showcase/Blues Artist as well as Asbury Park's Top Female Vocalist and Top Blues Band. She is also the youngest artist to be inducted into the NJ/NY Blues Hall of Fame and one of only three females who have been inducted at the time. She has performed or opened for artists such as Don McLean, Gregg Allman, Johnny Winter, Robert Cray, Dr. John, Shemekia Copeland, The Gin Blossoms, Little River Band, Marcia Ball, Walter Wolfman Washington, Eric Lindell, Sonny Landreth, The Radiators, Johnny A and so many more. She also sang backup vocals with the Smashing Pumpkins on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Advance tickets are $35 and available for purchase online. Tickets are $40 at the show. The Lizzie Rose Music Room is located at 217 E. Main Street in Tuckerton, New Jersey. Free parking is available.

In February, the band has shows in Miami, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, St Maarten, U.S. Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos, Antigua, St. Kitts and Nevis. In March, they'll be in Aruba, Columbia, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Miami.  Catch them in Jersey while you can!
