Live Music: Matty Frank and The Bobbies
Join The Plant for Live Music with Matty Frank and The Bobbies on Sat, May 16, 3pm-5pm. Fresh off their 2025 East Coast tour, Matty Frank and the Bobbies blend indie-rock energy with lush orchestral pop via omnichord flair, dramatic violin textures, gritty guitar solos, soaring clarinet tooting, bumping bass lines, and polyrhythmic drum fills that make you question where you are and what you hear. A fixture in NC’s music scene for several years, they’ve played Cat’s Cradle, Hopscotch, Pour House, and Carrboro Music Fest.
Self-taught in his musical and engineering knowledge, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Matty Frank creates naturalist art pop for modern druids, infusing each phrase with an intangible sparkliness. Praised for his hauntingly specific and relatable lyricism, he taps into community and global consciousness to converse with those who daydream of a more fantastical, shinier world, real or otherwise, through music and visuals. His sprinkling of delectable pop melodic shapes onto fantastically cinematic, whimsical, video game-inspired sound palettes makes for one-of-a-kind listening and performance experiences.
