Matthew is hitting the Midwest to wrap up 2017 with some intimate solo shows alongside the phenomenal songwriter Peter Oren (Western Vinyl).
Billboard premiered the lush new music video for "Enter the Kingdom" here.
My debut solo album is almost finished. It's called Alone at St. Hugo. My friend Ben Collins and I recorded it to this Tascam 388 tape machine and played all the instruments between the two of us in a small room. I don't think I've ever been so excited about an album I've made. It is a very personal and unadulterated document, and exceedingly dear to me.
Please check out Ben's amazingly rad band, Minihorse. Stay tuned!
Matthew has opened up a few more orders for handwritten lyrics from a song of your choice.

You order a song and have the option of including a word you would like to help shape or color the poem. I write a poem spurred directly by your interaction and send you the original typewritten copy, signed. You can order here:
