CRYS MATTHEWS

A passionate and powerful blend of infectious Americana melodies and folky instrumentation.

“A passionate and powerful blend of infectious Americana melodies and folky instrumentation, Matthews delivers her honest songwriting through a beautifully raw and unfiltered lens. Oozing soul, her voice bleeds with emotion and gratitude, while simple piano melodies and upbeat percussion fill you with appreciation and love for the people around us who fight for change.”

— Ear Milk

A troubadour of truth, Nashville resident Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers. An award-winning, prolific lyricist and composer, Matthews blends Country, Americana, Folk, Blues, and Bluegrass into a bold, complex performance steeped in traditional melodies punctuated by honest, original lyrics. She is made for these times.

Matthews welcomes everyone wanting to combat racism and promote social justice no matter how late to the game they might be.

"I'm glad people are finding their way to the table," she says. "We need more allies."

Matthews's music helps to recruit those allies. Her songs encourage confrontation with tough issues. But her songs are also "drenched in hope," as she put it. In the great tradition of folk music, Matthews brings listeners in with sweet sounds that grab them by the heart. Just as they are cradled in her soulful voice and her deft handling of an acoustic guitar it's Matthews saying, "Now that you're here, we've got some things to talk about."--Pride Source
