Matt Johnson (born November 6, 1970 in Houston, Texas) is an American drummer who played in the band of Jeff Buckley, appearing and co-writing one song on his album Grace[1] in 1994, as well as on subsequent live releases and EPs. Although he stopped playing with Buckley before recording began on what was to become the singer's final original album (released after his death as Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk), Johnson shares writing credits for one of its tracks.
Matt Johnson has also performed and recorded with Duncan Sheik,[1] Elysian Fields, Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright, Dean Wareham, Britta Phillips, David Poe, and Theo Eastwind. Johnson is currently collaborating with Sheik and fellow musician/songwriters David Poe, Morgan Taylor and Fil Krohnengold on an as-yet unnamed band project. Artist/drummer Matt Johnson has stepped away from the drum lift to record and release the solo project "CAGEFIGHTER." It's a moody and graceful collection of Matt Johnson original music, including the amazing piece "Together We Say." Johnson is also expected to release more solo material.
