Matt Krahula is a versatile multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and producer based in Honolulu, HI. He currently plays bass for Grammy-nominated artist Henry Kapono, fronts The Nightmare River Band, and is one half of the chamber folk duo Beyond Hope with Canadian singer-fiddler Sierra Noble. After years of touring the mainland and immersing himself in the vibrant New York City music scene, Krahula relocated to sunny Waikiki. Since 2018, he has become one of Hawaii's most sought-after artists, holding residencies at some of Oahu's top bars and clubs, and opening for major acts like Silver Sun Pickups, Frank Turner, Mike Love, Jerry Santos, and Keola Beamer.
Krahula began his musical journey at the Purchase Conservatory of Music, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Classical Music Performance on Upright Bass. Over the past 15 years, he has toured extensively, written, and recorded music, performing over 500 shows with his band and sharing the stage with acts such as Old Man Markley, The Last Bandoleros, Boy and Bear, Matt Simons, Tokyo Police Club, and Robert Ellis. He has been nominated for an Independent Music Award for Best Alt-Folk Song of the Year and has performed at renowned festivals like Summerfest, SXSW, and CMJ. His music has been featured in TV shows such as "9-1-1" on Fox, "American Pickers," Showtime’s "Gigolos," "Comedy Bang! Bang!," and NHL broadcasts, as well as several commercial campaigns.
Since moving to Hawaii, Matt has earned a reputation as one of the most reliable sidemen in the scene. He is a full-time member of Henry Kapono's legendary Dukes on Sunday Band, the upright bassist for Hawaii's premier bluegrass band Hook & Line, and the bassist for indie rockers 7 Pairs of Iron Shoes. He has also performed with Grammy nominee Sistah Robi Kahakalau, Tavana, Hoku Award winner Josh Tatofi, Grammy nominee Kimie Miner, Alx Kawakami, John Cruz, Keola Beamer, and Brother Noland of Pineapple Express.
