Hi. My name is Matt Petkovich, but my friends call me Petko. I've been playing guitar, singing, and writing songs since I was 12 years old. I played in a garage band called Haywire back in the late 90's, with a few gigs sprinkled here and there over East Central Illinois. Years went by. I went to college. Got married. Had kids. Started a career. Music took a back seat for a time....but that time is in the past.
Over the past few years, I've brushed off my guitars, dusted off my chops, and started sharing my music again. I play rock music - just me and my guitar. Mostly from the 90's and early 00's. I cover a few older tunes, a few newer tunes, a few pop tunes, and even a few country tunes. I play some original material. Over the past couple years I've played shows from Northern Illinois to Northwest Indiana to Northern Michigan.
I hope you enjoy what you hear. If you do, let me know. Rock on!
