Matchbox Twenty

They are an increasingly rare commodity: a pop group that actually writes its own songs. With nearly 20 million in album sales, Matchbox Twenty's radio friendly and palatable tunes appeal to just about everyone. The band's melody driven rock songs have been penned primarily by lead singer Rob Thomas, who spent the better part of a decade as a struggling -- and sometimes homeless -- songwriter and musician. Behind The Music traces the band's evolution beginning with Rob's unconventional upbringing in rural South Carolina through his stint in the band Tabitha's Secret to the intial struggles and eventual commercial success of Matchbox Twenty.
