This Week in Bisbee Person of the Week!
Musician Matt Felix has called Bisbee home for the past five years after moving from Phoenix with his family. He first discovered Bisbee through his wife’s family, who owned a horse ranch in the area, and quickly found himself drawn to the town. Like so many others, Matt says it’s the people who make Bisbee special. A lifelong musician, Matt started playing drums as a kid before picking up the guitar at age 13, and he’s been playing ever since. Today, he shares his music with the community during his regular performances at the Thirsty Lizard every third Saturday. Photo: https://www.zushkabiros.com/
