Moon Grass Trio features members of The Gentlemen’s Anti-Temperance League and Mississippi Hot Club. It’s an all-star blend of young talent playing old tunes, classics and originals in hot jazz, bluegrass, and latin styles, all of it sprinkled liberally with speed and eclecticism. But learning from the past doesn’t mean living there: MGT are firm believers in the future of acoustic music, and the future of jazz.

Javier and the blues became buddies in 1978 when he discovered his father’s record collection. He has been playing blues professionally since 1992.

In 1999 he signed to Storyville Records and released Comin Home internationally under the surname Jake Matson. Later that year, Javier met Bill Bateman (Blasters, Red Devils, Cramps) and moved to Los Angeles.

While living in Los Angeles Javier and Bill teamed up with John Bazz, also of The Blasters, and reformed The Blue Shadows who reopened the famous King King in Hollywood, California. They were voted best blues band by the L.A City Rock news and featured on the cover of Billboard Magazine as major contributors to blues music in the Los Angeles area.

After meeting Chopper Franklin (Cramps, Heathen Apostles) they formed the Doghouse Lords which was featured in the film, Cry Now and placed several songs on television shows like Friday Night Lights and Breaking Bad.
