Matt Doss
Lead Singer
Matt Doss is the lead singer (and ocassional manager) of The League of Ordinary Gentlemen. Singing before he could even form sentences, Matt has always had a passion for music. He believes music is the one thing that binds everyone together, no matter who they are. It is the utmost form of communication, expression and love. Throughout High School, College and beyond, Matt honed his skills and developed his own technique in putting a unique and personal spin on all the songs the band covers. In his spare time, Matt jots down random thoughts in his notebook and turns them into song lyrics or stand up comedy bits. Also, he annoys his bandmates by adding new songs to the setlist mere minutes before their shows. Matt lives in a house filled with hopes, dreams, Office memorabilia & "nerd crap" all over the walls.
Kyle Foster
Bass
Kyle Foster is excited to be a member of League of Ordinary Gentlemen on bass and backing vocals. Born and raised in Yanceyville, NC, he has loved music since a young age, and first began learning guitar at 15. His passions led him to UNC-Asheville where he majored in classical guitar performance, and began learning other instruments, including bass. Upon returning home and finding more of a need for bass players in the area, Kyle concentrated his efforts on bass and began performing with classic rock cover bands. In addition to L.O.O.G, Kyle stays involved in other projects, including his acoustic duo Kyle & Kristy, performing solo, and working as a guitar & bass instructor. His biggest influences on bass include Paul McCartney, James Jamerson, and John Paul Jones."
