Matt Leddy has only been performing since 1999, but has already shared the stage with Mike Morgan, Anson Funderburgh, Kenny Neal, Smokin' Joe Kubek, Bnois King, Sam Meyers, Mark May, Alan Haynes, Koko Taylor's Blues Machine, Sherman Robertson, Oscar O'Bear, Joe "Guitar" Hughes, Andy "Too Hard" Williams, Texas Johnny Brown, Harlem Slim, Little Joe Washington, Rico Blues Combo, Scott McGill, Colin John and Arthur Neilson. In the process, Matt has led The Meat Cutters to the forefront of the Houston blues scene.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in New Jersey, Matt began playing drums at the age of 11. He eventually abandoned the drums for an athletic career the led him to UCLA, where (when not injured) he ran track & field and cross country, and later to road and track cycling and the 1996 Olympic Trials in Cycling. Upon retirement from cycling in 1996, Matt directed his energy toward music, specifically the blues. An avid music fan throughout his life, he picked up the guitar for the first time in 1998. Matt had no intentions of ever playing in public or in a band, and only started playing guitar to ease his work-related stress as a doctor.

It was during a routine guitar lesson with Houston's Rom Ryan that Matt's musical potential surfaced. With Ryan's encouragement, Matt began attending weekly Wednesday night jam sessions at The Big Easy in Houston. One night at the Big Easy, Tony Vega saw Matt perform and invited him to join Tony on stage at one of Tony's shows. After a year of occasionally sitting in for a song or two with The Tony Vega Band, Matt started his own band, and in May of 1999, Matt Leddy and The Meat Cutters were born. Since 1999, Matt has worked hard to establish The Meat Cutters as one of Texas's top blues bands.

Matt cites Mark May, Mike Morgan and Oscar O'Bear as mentors, and Johnny Winter, Sherman Robertson, Jimmy Reed, Lightning Hopkins, Anson Funderburgh, Smokin' Joe Kubek, Tab Benoit and Kenny Neal as additional musical inspirations. 

Texas, New Orleans, Jump, Delta and West Coast blues, Country, even Rockabilly, Dave Carter can play it all. For the past 25 years, Dave has played blues throughout New York City and the entire East Coast.

Born in Erie Pennsylvania and raised in New Jersey, Dave began playing guitar at the age of nine. He discovered the blues at the age of 12, after sneaking out of his bedroom one night, and riding his bicycle ten miles to buy scalped tickets to a B.B. King show. By the age of 18, Dave was playing professionally with two Pennsylvania blues-rock bands, B.B. Wolf and Johnny Deadline. Throughout the 90's, he performed regularly on the New York City blues scene, playing with The French Cookin' Blues Band, The Scarecrows, The Ed Ryan Band, Big Ed Sullivan, Donia Oxford and Arthur Neilson. Dave cites all the Kings (B.B., Freddie, Albert and Earl), Texan's Lightning Hopkins, Albert Collins, T-Bone Walker and Stevie Ray Vaughan, as well as Arthur Neilson, as his principal influences.

In 2002, Dave and his wife, Mary Grace, moved to Houston to raise their twins, Jack and Eleanor. In 2003, Dave joined The Meat Cutters. His gutsy rhythm, tone and trademark vibrato, have quickly established Dave as one of the lone star state's premier guitar players.

The son of drummer Ron Korner (Ronnie Milsap, Tony Joe White), R. J. Korner delights Meat Cutter fans nightly with his energetic, funky and in-your-face approach to the bass.

Born in Memphis, Tennessee and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, R.J. began playing guitar at the age of 13. At the age of 18, he began playing bass and within one year's time was playing regularly on the club circuit throughout Texas.

R.J., who joined the band in 2005, cites Wes Claypool, Geddy Lee, Bob Korner and Mark Lowe as his principal musical influences, has played with such Texas bands as Herstory, The Todd Everwine Excursion, Turbulent and Space City Kings.

Born in Aurora, Illinois, Dave Angell began playing drums at the age of nine in his grade school band and took private lessons from local drummer, Terry Miller. When Dave became experienced enough for performing, he joined other local musicians forming a few of the many 'garage bands' that became popular in the '70s. Dave continued to pursue his thirst for musical knowledge by performing many live jazz and classic shows within his high school music department. At 17, Dave began returning his musical knowledge back to the new wave of Aurora drummers providing lessons at a new local music store opened by his former instructor, Terry Miller.

In the early 70's Dave changed his life's direction towards raising his two daughters Heather & Sara with his wife Robbie. Always dreaming of returning to music, Dave's chance came in 2002 when he retired and moved to Houston. Since his arrival in Houston he has played with Shotgun and Bayou Dawgs, Buddaka and Groove Grease. Dave joined The Matt Leddy Band in July of 2006.
