Matt Howe created Barbra Archives, an unofficial website he maintains that is all about Barbra Streisand's decades-long career, in 2003. Barbra Archives has become the go-to site for the Streisand fan community wishing to learn more about her albums, movies, and concerts. Matt's encyclopedic knowledge of Miss Streisand's accomplishments even prompted her to joke that he knows more about her career than she does! Since 2006, Matt has assisted her team with photo research and fact-checking for concerts and appearances. His name is listed in the credits of the fiftieth anniversary edition of the Funny Girl cast recording, on Streisand's two Release Me compilation albums, 2022's Live at the Bon Soir, and on her 2016 CD, Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway.  Matt recently moved to Western North Carolina with his cats Zach and Jasmin after living for over twenty years in Washington, DC, where he sang in cabaret shows, gardened, and excelled in cooking Ina Garten recipes. Matt is the author of the first edition of this book Barbra Streisand: The Music, The Albums, The Singles.
