Matt York grew up in Foxboro catching virtually every concert held there. He started playing the clubs of Boston as a teenager and became the longtime frontman of indie band, Wide Iris. Wide Iris released four CDs, received airplay on nearly every local radio station and played over 400 shows throughout the Northeast. They appeared in the 2000 WBCN Rock and Rumble.
