Matt “DOC” jones

House Manager
Pronouns: He/Him

Matt "Doc" is an eager but profoundly mediocre guitarist who moved to the Twin Cities in 1989 to continue his medical training just in time for the birth of The Cedar as a live music venue. He discovered it fortuitously en route to the Cabooze one night and since has logged 100+ nights of communal aural bliss in the venue that, in his opinion, has a sacred, loving vibe that is unmatched on this planet. Now semi-retired, he finally has time to devote to the staff side of The Cedar experience, enjoying it tremendously. In the world beyond The Cedar, Doc basks in the warm glow of tube amps while spinning all-genre vinyl for anyone who visits his audio lair. He loves his wife and children, critters Althea, Cirrus, and Sahil, hiking, biking, skiing, and travel, volunteers for local and international medical projects, and teaches high performance driving.
