Matt Mundy

Full Name: Matt Mundy

The electric mandolin of Matt Mundy gave the legendary Aquarium Rescue Unit much of its distinctive sound. Mundy worked with ARU leader Col. Bruce Hampton as far back as 1984, and appeared on the first two ARU albums, contributing lead vocals to a few songs as well. Tired of touring, he left ARU around the same time as Hampton and retired from the stage. He has also recorded with Béla Fleck, Jupiter Coyote, the Count M’butu Orchestra, Widespread Panic and Kevin Williamson & Shadow Ridge. His lone appearance on the Phish stage without the rest of ARU in its entirety came on 7/27/93, when he was one of many who joined the band for “You Enjoy Myself.”
