About Matt Heaton :

Matt Heaton was raised in a golden age of kids’ media. The Muppets, Free to Be You and Me, Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood and more all provided the soundtrack of his early childhood. He tries to bring elements of those classic shows—the musicianship, the wit, the respect and kindness—to families today. His songs blend the mid-century rockabilly, surf, soul, western swing and country music he loves with a sense of humor that works for both kids and adults.

Matt’s music connects with kids on an organic level, without the AI-generated bombast that fills the algorithms. His songs are full of good messages and good fun. Matt's got songs about math and feelings, which sit beside beloved “dance numbers” and hits like “Don’t Drink the Water (That Your Butt’s Been In)." Whether he’s doing a show at a library, a theater or a pub, he plays to both the kids and adults in the room.
