GREG MATTHEWS July 24, 1964 - February 25, 2026

Earlier this month we received the heartbreaking news that Greg Matthews, one of the original members of the Down South Band, had passed away.

Greg started having health issues soon after we got the band up and running and, regrettably, had to step away from live shows and touring.

He was an incredible musician and songwriter, and an all round great guy. He will be missed by many - but the wonderful memories of OUR time spent with him will live on in the heart and soul of

The Down South Band.

Rest easy, old friend. We miss you.

A Celebration of Greg's life is planned for March 21st.
