Growing up in an area where guitarists and cover bands are a dime a dozen, Matt Hines has catapulted his way through the scene. Matt has been acclaimed as one of the best Rock/Blues guitarists in Chicago. Blending a mixture of Rock and Blues with hints of Fusion and Classical enables him to perform with an extraordinary range of musical textures.
Matt Hines was born on May 1st, 1984 in Chicago, IL. He began playing guitar at the age of 12. His practicing quickly became an obsession, and it wasn't long until his family and friends began to recognize his talents. He auditioned and became a member of the Jazz Studio Orchestra at Naperville Central High School at age 18. Later that year, he was asked to play in Drumshow 2003, which was lead by Vern Spevak. He went on a two week European tour with the Jazz Studio Orchestra in July 2003.

JoBu has since released two studio albums and has toured the Midwest and Florida dozens of times. JoBu has shared the stage with such artists as Oteil and the Peacemakers, Devon Allman’s Honeytribe, Ace Frehley, The Hue, My Dear Disco, The Station, 56 Hope road, Back Yard Tire Fire, and Cornmeal.
Matt returned home to the Chicagoland area in 2011, where he began working hard to perform with as many musicians/bands as possible.
