WHO ARE THE BLUEPRINT?
Matt - The Boss/Lead Guitar & Vocals/Beard
The only remaining original member of The Blueprint, Matt is the driving force behind the scenes. Matt is the one who takes care of bookings gigs, our social media channels, the invoicing, the paying, and everything in between! He's the guy out front singing all the songs, cracking lame jokes mid-gig and playing guitar. Having the ability to sing a variety of styles from easy listening, funk, pop and even a bit of rap from time to time...Matt would easily be one of the most versatile frontmen in the game right now.
Chris - Dance Moves/Bass Guitar/Swagalicious
Chris joined The Blueprint 6 years ago (12th May 2018 to be exact!) and hasn't looked back. A veteran of the covers scene with bands like In Like Flynn and Bojangles, you'd be hard-pressed to find a song Chris can't play. A graduate of the Massey Jazz School....the music chops of the man are out of this world! You'll see him on the right side of stage, dropping tasty basslines and even tastier dance moves.
MARK - Big Guy/Drums & Percussion/Loudness
Mark debuted with the band on 25 March 2023 (we keep good records in this band!) without a practice with the full lineup....and wow....he made us sound better right away! He's got that groove, can add in some zesty drum fills and just hang back.....or he can go full noise at the drop of a hat. Mark is a true master of his craft, and the final piece of The Blueprint puzzle!
