MEET MATTHEW

Emerging Americana singer-songwriter Matthew Thomas was on track to enjoy all the trappings of a garden variety suburban youth. Then he picked up a guitar. The rest has been a relatively straight line until recently. After quitting his full-time job in 2022, he finds himself on the outskirts of Indianapolis with his wife and dog. 

The guitar is still in his hand, but the songs carry a different weight these days. They have to because they’re all he has. Since then, he has channelled his full emotions, hopes, and experiences into his music. Having fronted nationally touring pop-rock bands and collaborated with Grammy-winning producers, Thomas's true calling became evident when he embarked on a journey to discover his own musical identity and what he wanted his songs to actually sound and feel like - leading to his solo project being birthed in 2021.

With the successful funding of a Kickstarter campaign, he introduced his first EP, ‘Mustangs & Thoroughbreds, Vol. 1.’ This collection of songs explored the tension between who we are and who we aspire to be, weaving a narrative of saints and sinners, vagabonds and the virtuous, further showcasing his artistry as a genuine catharsis that captures the emotional landscapes of his journey with beautifully acoustic-led songs.
