Bogart, Buckwheat Zydeco, Tommy Castro, Bobby Rush, Tab Benoit, Ronnie Baker
Brooks, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, and Sir Mack Rice.
His debut CD, XIII (thirteen), released June 2007, was produced by great blues pianist
Deanna Bogart. She says about Matt, "Whether Matt's jamming on the Blues Cruise,
being invited on stage with great musicians, or at home listening to those who came
before, it's the love and respect for music that truly propels him along." The Baltimore
Sun describes Matt's CD as "...foot-tapping, head-swinging, blues-jazz fusion
music...wait until you hear this musician."
Matt's new CD is being played on radio stations across the country and is receiving great

Several blues magazines have reviewed the CD. According to Tim Richards at
BluesSource.com, "With a pleasant mix of originals and covers, Matt kicks the mule in the
tail...No matter if it's jazz, funk, or gut bucket ragtime, Wigler has a firm grasp on playing
it right."
