What happens when a life long artistically driven musician from the lo-fi punk scene starts a vegan jerky company with his spouse?
You get Matt Trahan, aka Morte Treehorn.
As a founding member of the band
"Kill the Hippies", Matt has been playing and recording for decades, exploring genres from garage punk to jazz drumming. We’ll dive into his journey from the stage to the storefront, discussing everything from the band’s music to his small business, "Pleather Vegan Jerky: The Seitanic Snackrifice".
This is a raw, fun, and insightful conversation not only with a focus on the Northeast Ohio music scene, but balance, and a commentary of how to stay true to the self in 2025
You really don't want to miss the discussion!
