Ball’s start in Jazz only began in 2001 after he attended a local boogie-woogie festival. He was so awestruck by the performances there, he left his career as an attorney to become a blues & boogie-woogie performing artist. With a lot of work and a little help from boogie’s hall of famer Bob Seeley, Ball joined the ranks of iconic blues masters in 2005 when headlining at the exclusive Arches Piano Stage in Cincinnati. Since then he has maintained an active calendar as Motor City’s Boogie Woogie Kid.
Today described as "a rising giant” in the field, Matthew is helping to define a new generation's contribution to this treasured American tradition.
