Matthew Garcia Live at Firetrucker Brewery

Discover Matthew Garcia, a talented singer/songwriter and Drake University freshman, as he brings his warm acoustic sound to the vibrant Des Moines music scene. Hailing from the western suburbs of Chicago, Matthew has been playing the guitar since he was 11 years old, and his rich bass/baritone voice is a perfect match for both his original songs and a dynamic mix of crowd-pleasing covers. Matthew’s musical journey began early and has already led him to some impressive achievements. While in high school, he was selected for the two highest-level choirs where he honed his vocal craft. In 2023, he was chosen as one of only 300 students nationwide to represent his school at the prestigious American Choral Directors Association National Honors Choir—a remarkable honor that speaks to the caliber of his vocal talent. Whether performing his own songs or covering classics, Matthew’s voice is sure to captivate and leave a lasting impression. Already a familiar face in the Chicago area, Matthew has performed at breweries, bars, wineries, distilleries, restaurants, private events, corporate gigs, summer festivals, and farmers markets. Now, he’s bringing that same energy to Iowa, promising an unforgettable night of live music. Whether he's channeling the smooth vibes of John Mayer, the raw emotion of Chris Stapleton, or the nostalgic anthems of Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, Green Day, and classic '70s and '80s hits, Matthew’s performances offer a musical journey you won’t want to miss. Add in his fresh, authentic original songs, and you’ve got a show that’s as familiar as it is excitingly new. When he's not on stage, Matthew is making his mark as a member of the Drake University hockey team. A double major in Digital Media Production and Business Management, he’s balancing academics, athletics, and his passion for music with the kind of charisma that makes him a natural performer. “The music scene here in Greater Des Moines is incredible, and I’ve had the best time getting to know my new community,” says Matthew Garcia. “I’m really excited to share my music and connect with audiences across Iowa.” Don’t miss out on this rising star! Mark your calendars for Matthew’s Des Moines debut on Friday, March 28th, from 7-9 PM at FireTrucker Brewery in Ankeny. Can’t make it? Catch him again on April 11th from 6-8 PM at Paws and Pints in Des Moines. Whether you're there for the music, the great vibe, or just to say you knew him before he hits it big, this is a performance you won't want to miss.
