Matt Kyle's Story

Songwriter Matt Kyle and Kyle Law Firm

I love music. I’ve always loved music. 

THE FUNDRAISING:  votes for me and other songwriters here raise money to support Hope Hospice and the their humble caretaking mission.  My business already supports them and I am doubling-down:  after the contest my firm will match the dollars you guys vote/donate for me here.

MY MUSIC HISTORY: I played piano and sang in choirs  when I was young. But I was a throwback and listened to Elvis Presley and vocalists like Barry Manilow, Sam Cook, Frank Sinatra, Brian Wilson (the Beach Boys) and Don Henley (the Eagles).

In the early 90s I worked in Dallas and sang a capella jazz standards with two women in a trio called TBA. I next co-founded Southern rock band “Rough Justice” to write and sing originals.

I returned to New Braunfels in 1997 and taught myself enough guitar to write and perform originals at places  like Landa Station and Freiheit store with folks like Al Barlow, Teri Hendrix, Hugh Fadal and many others. I opened my law office in 1999, started a family and didn’t write again for over 20 years.

In 2022, Jeff Frazier, a musician and law school classmate of mine, moved to NB and joined my law firm. Jeff is a self taught musician, father of four and a beach - music venue - bar owner of the “Pink House” in Galápagos Islands. He demanded my return to music and the songwriting was back on!

Now I travel annually to the Pink House and recently joined on stage there the famous “Iguanamen of Galapagos”. On my 2024 trip I sang and played alongside Ecuador’s guitar legend, Hector “Napo “ Napolitano.

Back in NB the  “Red Bird Listening Room” was founded by  NB native and Americana talent Dallas Burrow, who encourages me and other songwriters to play and write.  I’ve never had more fun with music! 💪💪💪

But this is about raising money.  My personal goal is $2,500.  Help me do it!
