Matt Bissonette – Common Road

Common Road is the latest album from bassist, vocalist, and songwriter Matt Bissonette — a refreshing collection of jazz tunes with an eclectic twist. Blending groove, melody, the album captures Matt’s signature style: playing intricate electric bass lines while simultaneously vocalizing the melody in unison.
Joining Matt on this musical journey are some world-class talents — his brother Gregg Bissonette on drums (known for his work with Ringo Starr, David Lee Roth, and Toto), Ron Pedley on keyboards (from the legendary Barry Manilow and Air Supply), and Jimmy Shorts on bass. Together, they create a vibrant and dynamic soundscape that moves effortlessly from classic jazz textures to inventive modern twists.
Whether you’re a longtime rock and roll fan of Matt's or discovering Matt Bissonette’s artistry for the first time, Common Road invites you to travel a path where melody and rhythm meet — on a scenic a road you’ll want to visit.
