Sherrod, Matt Biography
Matt Sherrod is an American drummer and musician. Sherrod became known as a musician playing drums for rock artist Beck. In 2007, following the 2005 death of Australian drummer Paul Hester of Crowded House, Sherrod was auditioned to join Crowded House as the group had decided to reunite.
History
Matt Sherrod, born July 11, 1968, was brought up in Southern California, in the United States. Having been interested in music from a young age, he began playing the drums when he was 9 years old and piano when he was 12 years old.
In early 2007, Australian rock group Crowded House decided to reform. As their previous drummer had died, they held auditions for drummers and Sherrod was invited by the group to join the band, on the condition that it was a permanent arrangement. Sherrod accepted and joined the band. Crowded House leader Neil Finn has stated in interviews that he selected Sherrod based both on his musical ability, but also based on not being too familiar with the band, their history or their music, as this would bring a new angle to the band. In another interview, Finn stated "Matt is his own man. I think that was what we like about him and he actually didn't know a lot about Crowded House but he responded to the songs. And it felt very exciting for us. The choice was kind of obvious in the end."
Sherrod plays drums on the album Time on Earth on four tracks, including lead single "Don't Stop Now". He also contributes backing vocals to one song on the album. The band returned to the studio in 2008 to begin recording a full album incorporating the new lineup.
