Matthew Carlson w/ Lack of Reason * September 17, 2026

About this event

After 30 years of playing shows, making records and writing songs, it’s fair to call Matthew Carlson a veteran. From his current work in the Stick Arounds and Harborcoat, to his previous stints in The Pantones and Third Uncle, Carlson has spent a lifetime writing songs filled with vivid characters, detailed worlds, and personal touches. Carlson is a born storyteller. His solo acoustic shows are filled with emotional, funny, and moving stories about the hidden lives and places behind his songs. To see Matty C play solo is to see, feel, and hear his songs in a new, and perhaps more profound way. Lack of Reason is a three-piece Milwaukee, Wisconsin rock band known for their no-frills, high-energy rock and roll sound. The group was formed when members of earlier Milwaukee bands met on stage and decided to create their own act. Pat O’Neill – Guitar, vocals Scottie K – Drums, vocals Mark E. Lee – Bass, vocals They share vocals and collaborate on songwriting, giving their music a collective, raw energy.
