This guy earned a thumbs up from me before he even started singing, just for the story. 🍻 👍

Great performance. Matt Heckler seems like a great guy, too.

This guy is good. A real entertainer. Love the pickin'.

I heard this song at honestly one of the hardest times in my entire life. But I still absolutely love it. So much.

I love how one of the greatest musicians of our time is SLAYING a banjo and dude in the back is asking that woman questions 🥴

Matt Heckler is an awesome musician... one of the best out there.. Hands down..

There's magic in them fingers. ✨️

Would give just about anything to play banjo with this guy just one time.

I love this guy, thanks for sharing!

Banjo is one of those things you'll never be the best at. It's so hard to judge its players. They're all so talented and double minded.

I've watched/listened to this probably eleven times at this rate, great upload (s)!

I was here this was in Johnsok city TN about 45 people total in this tattoo shop. Great experience I ever had.

Once again I’m amazed at how well and fast you play your instruments!!! Well done my friend!

He's just my favorite. I love LDSB so much but everytime I see Matt, he's just too good and funny. ❤️

Great video and performance. Matt is one fine specimen of a man.

I was on a train and saw a tornado touch down, everyone was freaking out running around, I went to the drink cart and got a beer and two scotches put on a.song and.just watched.

Loved the story and song. Thank you for posting this

My brother you are such a talented person keep doing what you are doing. Never stop!!!! I am a guy who has tough skin!!!!! I mean tough!!!!!!!!!skin and your songs are amazing and bring me to tears. But in a good way! Don’t stop. You are so talented brother. Don’t stop love the music. I am just a plumber living in Maui. Your a talented man that is for sure 🤙🏻🤙🏻

the no fucks left to give was last think i was watching and now im a matt heckler fan

I keep coming back to this. I hope I get to sing with him one day

Incredible playing!

Fantastic story and playing. Loved it.

Great to see my namesake, Haw, in a moving tribute! Thanks!

Pine for the authenticity. It's in those other peoples' graves. It lives in quiet moments between mother and son, father and daughter. Whispered. No grubby urbanite hands. You made your choice.

wow Matt looks so different now, he looks so much better, I’m so glad for him.

I hope to see this man live one day, matt is my absolute favourite

One of the most insane clawhammer techniques ever. And it sounds busy incredible. Lyrically a genius. What a guy

Great playing! Loved it. Brought back memories of walking the creeks in Alamance County as a kid. The joke was always never eat from the Haw River, even if those two headed fish are twice as likely to bite. It’s definitely cleaned up since the ‘90’s and I hear there’s a canoe and kayak trail on it now. Might be scrubbing some clay out of my camping gear after this summer, now that I’m thinking of it. Would enjoy getting back out on the water and this has me thinking of the Haw. Wonder how many mill chutes still out and about round there?

Hate that I missed this set in my hometown.

so good. sooooo good. Catch you next time you are in town.

I am from Oahu, but now live in Maryland. Kekaha is our favorite to go, I know where you are talking about on the way to Poli Hale.

Great show great people much love to Matt and much love to Alex and the boys from snake charmer tattoo

Thanks

Let's go baby 🤘🤓 in the presents of a mad man

Just thrilled to see this video. Great performance. Kinda weird cause I just ordered a lefty, 6 string banjo......

Matt is such a fucking inspiration. :)

Man the way he plays that banjo is so kick ace

Matt's awesome, super talented guy.

Great claw hammer technique!

My sister was living on the main island during the “missile threat” and was out on a jog with her new baby when she got the text! She was terrified and held up in a random persons garage for the hour.

what else could you do but dance and sing , may as well go out with a bang

Good stuff

Please come to stoney creek, in hunlock creek PA

Nice...:)

What a show!🤩 Anybody knowing how its tuned? doesnt seem "normal" to me but I might be mistakin...beginner here??🤔🙃

I love Matt Heckler soooo much, but those two dudes in the back pissed me off the whole time haha

Lol I remember hearing about that missile situation

It's not every day you get to be one of the band members on the Titanic, then the Titanic doesn't sink.

Total fangirl here. Come back to Houston. Im the tard screaming all your lyrics right back at you

Ready to die. I love it. Play chattanoogaaaaa matt.

Damn, it's like you lived in the 19th century.

so am i the only one wondering if this was what he started singing

Is this claw hammer technique?

Fenominal! (Not sure about the spelling)

He’s playing banjo with bare fingers

From Hawaii big island, got woke up by my parents and sister when that texts went off and literally called them stupid then went back to bed, told them Oahu would get hit first if anything since it would be more tactical also its was to early for me to care since I was on hawaii time

ok

2:56 song start

Haha fuck taxes

I just got HECKLED. (Banjos are made to be picked, never strummed.)

It's like 3 minutes of yammering and tuning but when he finally digs in its legit

I guess it didn’t do a lot for me.

The two guys in the background are the example of how not to be during live anything.

Who cares?

Comedian or guitarist.... Pick one
