Matthew Goletz is a folk singer who lives and sings in Austin, TX since 2010. Beginning in the folkies alleys of Greenwich Village at 19, he began a residency at one of Allen Ginsburg’s favorite venues, The Back Fence.  In 2012 after playing in duos and Austin rock bands like, The Clay Pigeons, he self released his first album, Marrakech.  From then on, he’s played shows all over the US and in 2017, he played his first overseas tour in Europe.  With a degree in music from Ramapo College of NJ, he studied under composer Ben Neill (inventor of the the mutantrumpet) and Mack Brandon (pianist and music director for Ben E. King, The Drifters, The Supremes). From this experience he took a knack for Bob Dylan with the hopes of landing among the stars of giants such as him.  With seven more self releases since his debut work, in 2020 he released Sea Glass Memories, a collection of songs recorded throughout the years. He continues to write and perform to this day.
