Matt Musty has been the drummer for Train since 2019. He has lived in Boston, New York, Nashville, and Los Angeles and in addition to Train, his touring and recording credits include Grace Potter, Gwen Stefani, Shoshana Bean, Keith Urban, and many others.

• The Broadway musical in development that Train is writing music for, and learning the “many cooks in the kitchen” approach
• Being a part of Train’s writing process with Pat and Jerry
• How to fight jadedness
• “Doing everything wrong and backwards” in New York
• Moving to Nashville and finding himself in the drum chair with Grace Potter
• How the space is what makes recordings sound cool
• Caring enough to strive for 110%, and not caring enough to not beat the shit out of yourself when you never get there
