Live music, events, and a steady rhythm of community gatherings make Distant more than just a place to grab a beer. It’s where Mammoth comes together.
Matthew Clark LIVE!

Born & raised on Santa Barbara’s Central Coast, Matthew Clark is engulfed in beach town life. When he sits in the sand to write a song, the sensational result is”Beach Town Music.” Matthew’s magnetic tenor voice captivates listeners, as his vocals soar over his poignant lyrics.
Matthew started writing and performing songs early, leading multiple bands with his singing and guitar work. His early projects enjoyed opening slots for Fishbone, Burning Spear, Eek-A-Mouse, and more.
Lately, he has gone more acoustic playing tons of solo shows, writing more songs than ever, and collaborating with other artists, and selling thousands of recordings on tour.
In 2023, Matt, the California boy, was invited to Nashville by Chris Gelbuda to collaborate and record. Chris co-wrote and produced many of Meghan Trainor’s hits, including, “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” featuring John Legend.
Matthew looks forward to continuing his focus on writing and collaborating with more artist and producers around the world. His signature, beachy sound will have you kicking back and chilling before you know it, tapping your feet in the sand.
