The Matching Shoe

In 2019, they embarked on a three-week tour playing venues across the U.S., capping off the tour with a debut at the Huichica Festival in Sonoma, CA. Also in 2019, they headlined TOCO (Tapestry of Community Offerings) Festival and performed at several events to honor the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. In 2018, The Matching Shoe played the main stage at Greentree Festival, TOCO Festival, Cars & Guitars, along with several notable venues, including NAMM in LA, gaining a fierce following of "Shoe-Heads".

Their originals ring of early Jethro Tull, Revolver era Beatles, and psychedelic pop while their carefully selected covers span the Doors, Grateful Dead, Elton John and more.

The core of the Matching Shoe consists of hypnotizing guitar and bass lines, mesmerizing keys and dynamic percussion. Led by multi-instrumentalists Dillon Wilfong (vocals/drums/guitar) and Ben Vennard (keyboards/upright bass/vocals). Their repertoire consists of both original and cover songs that combine the sounds of Classic Rock 'N' Roll, Art Rock, Folk, and Blues.

Fueled by the same musical styles, the band released their first album 'Out Thru the Window’ in August 2016. Their next EP titled “Don’t Hide It. Divide It” was released fall of 2017, which was recorded between St. Louis and Aftermaster Studios in Hollywood, California. In April 2019, they released their first full-length album titled "Right On". Their big influences include Wilco, Johnny Cash, Pink Floyd and The Beatles.
