Matt Shultz Arrested: Matthew Ray Shultz was born on October 23, 1983, and grew up in Bowling Green, Kentucky. His older brother Brad Shultz (guitar), Daniel Tichenor (bass, backing vocals), Lincoln Parish (lead guitar), and Jared Champion (drums) were some of his high school friends who would later become bandmates (drums).
Shultz and his brother came from a poor family. Because of this, his brother was sometimes called “Poor Boy” by other kids at school. Their father is also named Brad and plays music. When the boys were young, their parents split up.
After their parents divorced, their mother started dating Shultz’s football coach, which made him quit the team and start playing music to rebel. Before he began to Cage the Elephant, Shultz worked as a plumber in the building industry.
In an interview, he said he thought he would be stuck at that job for the rest of his life if he didn’t quit. So, he finished and went to work at a sandwich shop with Brad, who had been in sales before.
