Hailing from the rugged landscapes that inspire his sound, Matt first made waves as a founding member of acclaimed acts like Deep Chatham and The Devil Makes Three, and spent many nights touring with Benjamin Tod, Lost Dog Street Band, Flogging Molly and others, where his fiery fiddle and banjo work left audiences in awe. Now a solo artist, Matt released The Magnolia Sessions outdoor live set, which hit #9 on the Bluegrass Billboard Charts. The Magnolia Sessions was still charting upon the release of his studio album Blood, Water, Coal, which debuted at #3, giving Matt two albums running on the Billboard Charts simultaneously.
Matt plays with a memorable, timeless intensity across his banjo, fiddle, and guitar blending traditional mountain melodies with deeply personal storytelling that echoes the struggles and beauty of life in the hollows. He is a true phenom in the world of traditional and modern folk music.
Matt has also promised to play us some Irish folk tunes. This will not be one to miss. Get tickets now...See you at The Opry!
