Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on March 10, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Matt Rubano! May your day be filled with more rhythm than a Taking Back Sunday bassline and fewer awkward stage dives. Your legendary grooves have kept fans bouncing for years—proving once again that the bassist truly is the coolest member of any band (sorry, vocalists!).

From rocking iconic stages to crafting unforgettable melodies, you've consistently reminded us why we fell in love with music in the first place. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—and maybe finally convinces everyone else that air-bass solos deserve their own Grammy category. Keep slappin' those strings, Matt!
