Quickly emerging young Texas musician Mathias Lattin won 1st place at the 2023 International Blues Challenge in the band category and the Best Guitarist Award at 20 years old. A graduate of the acclaimed Kinder High School for Performing and Visual Arts magnet program, Mathias came up quickly in the Houston scene, playing Jonn Del Toro Richardson’s blues jams when he was 13, and later joining Keesha Pratt’s band. Houstonites like Annika Chambers and Shawn Allen served as mentors and inspiration. His training as a jazz guitarist is reflected in his soulful blues, jazz-inflected chords, and funky bass lines. Mathias wrote and produced all the songs on UP NEXT. This fall Mathias is looking forward to getting out on the road with his band in support of the new record, with dates including the Big Blues Bender and the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise. 1.
