Below is a fairly comprehensive list of performers that appeared at Matter’s Ballroom until 1999.
Only a few documents exist of the bands that played in the early years (1916-1945).
Also many bands that played for weddings and other special events are not likely to be listed.
For search purposes I have removed “The” from any band titles.
Listing by John Matter.
