Matthew Kaminski is a rare breed. He’s a musician who performs for a crowd of 40,000 people at least 81 times a year. That’s because Kaminski is the Atlanta Braves (Major League Baseball) organist and plays all their home games.

Matthew has been featured in The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Fox 5's Good Morning Atlanta and Good Day Extra, NPR's Weekend Edition, the BBC, and has received positive "on air" reviews from Braves announcers Don Sutton (Hall of Fame pitcher), Chip Carey, Joe Simpson, and Jim Powell.
