Who is Matchbox Twenty
Main article: North (Matchbox Twenty album) At the Taste of Chicago on July 2, 2010, Thomas said that Matchbox Twenty would be recording in the fall for their fourth studio album. On September 4, 2010, while on VH1's Top 20 Music Video Countdown, Thomas stated that Matchbox Twenty was planning to start working on their next studio album in mid-September and that he was 80% sure that the album would be released sometime in 2011. Rob Thomas posted on Twitter that he was "heading out next week to start writing the new mb20 record" on September 13, 2010. It was stated on Matchbox Twenty's web site that the next show they will do together is on January 1, 2011, in Oklahoma.[5] Matchbox Twenty played a one-off live show in Temecula, California, on July 9, 2011, but no new material was played. During the show Rob Thomas stated the show was a "love letter to our fans."[6] North was released on September 4, 2012. The album's first single, "She's So Mean," was released on June 12, 2012.[7] In 2012, the band embarked on a worldwide tour, the North Tour, to promote the album.[8] The tour continued as the 2013 Summer Tour, when they co-headlined with the Goo Goo Dolls.[9] On April 9, 2016, Kyle Cook left the band citing a communication breakdown between the members, but returned in 2017.[10] In 2017 the band toured with the A Brief History of Everything Tour with Counting Crows.[11] Duo Rivers and Rust joined them as an opening act.[12] Doucette described the tour as a celebration of the band's history – stating it "was always going to happen. It just took a bit for everyone to realize that."[13][14] He said that the band had no plans to release new albums soon at that time and were focused on touring.[15] The band was set to undertake a North American summer tour in 2020 alongside The Wallflowers.[16] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the tour was rescheduled three times, first to 2021, then to 2022, and then to 2023. The band played a one-off performance headlining in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada for the Churchill Park Music Festival in July 2022.[17][18][19][20] On June 20, 2022, a video was posted on the band's Twitter account, confirming that a new album is in the works, despite Rob Thomas denying this in interviews the previous year.[21][22][23] Having had to make their fans wait for three years to see them on tour again due to cancellations, Kyle Cook suggested that they should make a new album.[24] On March 1, 2023, the band announced a new single, "Wild Dogs (Running in a Slow Dream)," would be released March 17. On the day of release, the band revealed that their fifth studio album Where the Light Goes would be released on May 26, 2023, via Atlantic.[25] Band members[edit] .mw-parser-output .col-begin{border-collapse:collapse;padding:0;color:inherit;width:100%;border:0;margin:0}.mw-parser-output .col-begin-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .col-break{vertical-align:top;text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .col-break-2{width:50%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-3{width:33.3%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-4{width:25%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-5{width:20%}@media(max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .col-begin,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody>tr,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody>tr>td{display:block!important;width:100%!important}.mw-parser-output .col-break{padding-left:0!important}} Current members Rob Thomas – lead vocals (1995–2004, 2007–present), keyboards, piano (1998–2004, 2007–present), acoustic and rhythm guitar (1998–2002, 2012) Brian Yale – bass (1995–2004, 2007–present) Paul Doucette – drums, percussion (1995–2004, 2007–present in studio, 1995–2004 live); rhythm and acoustic guitar, keyboards (2002–2004 in studio, 2007–present), backing vocals (2007–present) Kyle Cook – lead guitar, backing and occasional lead vocals, mandolin, banjo (1995–2004, 2007–2016, 2017–present), keyboards (2003, 2012) Current touring musicians Matt Beck – keyboards, additional guitars, backing vocals, mandolin, percussion, pedal steel (1999–2004, 2007–present) Neal Daniels – drums, percussion (2023–present) Jamie Arentzen – acoustic guitar, percussion (2024–present) Whynot Jansveld – bass (2024–present; substitute for Brian Yale) Former members Adam Gaynor – rhythm and acoustic guitar, backing vocals (1995–2004) Former touring musicians Joey Huffman – keyboards, additional guitars (1998) Ryan MacMillan – drums, percussion (2007–2011) Stacy Jones – drums, percussion, occasional acoustic guitar (2012–2022) Timeline[edit] Yourself or Someone Like You lawsuit[edit] In May 2005, nine years after the release of Yourself or Someone Like You, Matchbox Twenty was sued by New York City resident Frank Torres, the man featured on the album's cover. Torres claimed the band used his image the album's cover without any consent. Torres also claimed that he had been walking down the street when he was asked by a photographer to pose for a picture. In legal papers, Torres claims the group "knowingly, intentionally and maliciously" used his picture on the cover, causing him mental anguish. Torres's lawyer claimed the reason for the filing delay of the lawsuit, was that Torres only found out about the album in 2003.[26] Discography[edit] Main article: Matchbox Twenty discography Studio albums[edit] Yourself or Someone Like You (1996) Mad Season (2000) More Than You Think You Are (2002) North (2012) Where the Light Goes (2023) Tours[edit] Headlining The Big Rock Show (1997–98)[27] Mad Season Tour (2000–01)[28] More Than You Think You Are Tour (2003)[29] Exile in America Tour (2008)[30] North Tour (2012–13)[31] 2013 Summer Tour (with the Goo Goo Dolls) (2013)[32] A Brief History of Everything Tour (with Counting Crows) (2017)[33] Slow Dream Tour (2023)[34] Awards and nominations[edit] Matchbox Twenty awards and nominations.mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner{display:flex;flex-direction:column}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{display:flex;flex-direction:row;clear:left;flex-wrap:wrap;width:100%;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{margin:1px;float:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .theader{clear:both;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;align-self:center;background-color:transparent;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbcaption{background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-left{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-right{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-center{text-align:center}@media all and (max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbinner{width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:none!important;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{justify-content:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{float:none!important;max-width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle .thumbcaption{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow>.thumbcaption{text-align:center}}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner span:not(.skin-invert-image):not(.skin-invert):not(.bg-transparent) img{background-color:white}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner span:not(.skin-invert-image):not(.skin-invert):not(.bg-transparent) img{background-color:white}}Awards and nominationsAward Wins NominationsAmerican Music Awards 0 5Grammy 0 5MTV VMA 0 2People's Choice 1 1Totals[a]Wins3Nominations16.mw-parser-output .hidden-begin{box-sizing:border-box;width:100%;padding:5px;border:none;font-size:95%}.mw-parser-output .hidden-title{font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .hidden-content{text-align:left}@media all and (max-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .hidden-begin{width:auto!important;clear:none!important;float:none!important}}Note .mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman} ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination. Matchbox Twenty has received nominations at the American Music Awards, the Grammy Awards, and the MTV Video Music Awards, but has only received awards at the People's Choice Awards and APRA Awards. During 2004, the People's Choice Awards gave Matchbox Twenty the award for Favorite Musical Group. In 2009, the APRA Awards gave Matchbox Twenty the award for Most Played Foreign Work. At the American Music Awards, the band was nominated for Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group twice, during both 1999 and 2003. Matchbox Twenty received a nomination for Best Rock Album twice at the Grammy Awards, for Mad Season in 2001 and More Than You Think You Are during 2004. Overall, Matchbox Twenty has received two awards from 13 nominations.
