Matt grew up within the legacy of a very musical family. Father Bill Velline and his younger brother Bobby formed “Bobby Vee & The Shadows” as a basement band in 1958. Buddy Holly’s untimely death on February 3, 1959, “The Day The Music Died” would catapult Bobby Vee into the international spotlight in early 1960. Bob Dylan, then known as “Elston Gunnn” briefly performed with Matt’s dad and uncle in those early days and recently quoted on-stage that “Bobby was the most meaningful person I've shared the stage with.” This legacy has continued on with Matt and Bobby’s sons Jeff and Tommy Vee, grandson Bennett Vee and Matt’s wife Julie Velline as “The Killer Vees!” You can catch Matt and the Vee family in many different touring acts.
