Jimmy Matejek		Jimmy Matejek was born in Houston, Texas and grew up in a house where the sound of a guitar was commonplace- both his father Donald Sr. and his older brother Donald Jr. played guitar. He decided to try his hand at playing at around 8 years of age and soon set Chet Atkins as his first major guitar hero. Jimmy credits his family for exposing him to many forms of music at a young age- Chet and traditional country from his dad, Bill Doggett and 50's era-Elvis from his Mom, Judas Priest and Jimi Hendrix from his brother, and 70's-era Elvis and Lynyrd Skynyrd from his two sisters, just to name a few early influences. After many years of playing in church, then local VFW halls and parties, then nightclubs around the country Jimmy relocated to Nashville by way of Georgia in the late 90's and in 2000 started playing acoustic guitar, 6-string banjo and harmony vocals with Montgomery Gentry. Home recording, building guitar-based electronics projects and gigging locally in the Nashville area occupy his time when he's not on the Jim Beam bus. Jimmy "
