Matt Kelley has been making a difference in Fort Wayne for 15 years, with his downtown design and marketing boutique, One Lucky Guitar.

And a little over three years ago, he brought it all home by adding a unique performance venue to that space called The B-Side.

For a look at this “flip side” of Kelley’s world, WBOI’s Julia Meek invited him into the studio to discuss its niche in the Fort Wayne music scene.
