I’ve heard from a mutual friend who knows him and he gets paid so little apparently. Based on what they told me I don’t know why he even wants the job lol
I can buy that. He's got quite a few side hustles like giving lessons or being like a session musician. I think he pretty much keeps the Braves gig now because it's good advertising for everything else he does plus it's at least consistent income.
I heard he actually came close to quitting after people were being really nasty to him online over his song choices.
Unrelated: fuck you, Phillies fans, Brandon Marsh is smell cat!
Rumor has it that it was more death threats than just negativity. He was just doing all that for fun and it's just not fun if people threaten your life.
That seems highly unlikely to be that extreme. The dude blocked me on twitter years ago because I commented that playing go cubs go should only happen in the friendly confines out of superstition. It is also such a lazy joke he’d use for former cubs.
He's not that bad, I just don't think he's very original. He asks for suggestions for all the visiting players and then uses those suggestions during the games. When he gets all the love from using someone else's idea, he never mentions that all his best bits have been outsourced. It also gets tiring explaining every single year that he will be back the following season when he does the same bit annually.
Matthew Kaminski is my favorite Brave and has been for years. If I was a Braves hitter, I’d insist on Matthew playing my walk-up music instead of the recorded clips used by all home team hitters. I’d be strolling to the plate to sweet organ versions of Widespread Panic, Allman Brothers, and Grateful Dead tunes.
I love having the game on and hearing the organist play the away team walk up music, identifying the song, and then figuring out the significance, followed by the chuckle.
They really are. I'm a season ticket holder for my local MiLB team and it's obnoxious just how many little noises little play along with constant ads. Whenever the home team gets a strikeout, there's a cash register sound, then THE CONVERSE TEAM FOR YOUR 401K... AND MORE, then fucking video game music for some reason.
He acts like every year is his last year and then makes a big deal out of re-signing with the team. It's like a running joke with him. I've heard they even tell people on stadium tours it's his final year every year.
He just made the Facebook post for this year about an hour ago.
The best in the league. Troll on, my brother.

Also, presumably, a bunch of free Braves games.
If you’re going to do art, you gotta be able to take criticism and negativity 🤷♂️

You find it highly unlikely to the extreme that Phillies fans were acting like assholes?
I don't know exactly what was said, but it was enough for him to be rattled to the point of no longer asking for ideas and posting song choices.
::suspenseful organ music::
I’ll send him beer/weed money any time my man Kaminiski needs it.
The attention, I would imagine.
I love that he’s your mortal enemy haha

I’d do it for cheap just to go to every game for free
You play organ?
I have yeah. I don’t have one anymore though
Well yeah you’re at the game but it’s not like you get to enjoy the moments I think imo it becomes a job.
A couple times a day normally
His return is as sure as Jesse Chavez’s used to be, but it’s still a huge relief to officially see it

You know what? Same. And I'd let him pick for me!

You want to make a Monday better? This is how you make a Monday better. Welcome back big guy
The most important signing of 2026
Great news man! You're the best!
I love his sense of humor with the opposing team music trolling…makes me laugh every time!
Did more ever come out about all the restrictions he had last year? Like not being able to talk about walkup songs on social media?
I'm not sure if that came from the Braves or from him. The comments did get ugly on his Facebook though.
I'd def buy that jersey if they sold it.
You can buy the jersey, but just at Truist.
This is great news. Even watching on TV it is fun to hear the organ in the background trolling the opposing team players.
I hope they keep working it out. Minor league games are insuferable with the constant loud music and sound effects basically every pitch.

this is music to my ears!
Fuck yeah!!!
Let's gooooo
Thank goodness
I feel like he’s already announced this or am I just remembering one of the other 17 times he’s made this announcement?
