Talented Young Alabama Artists

Matt Morrow

Alabama native Matt Morrow has a strange way of stealing the attention of a room with a whisper rather than a shout and making darkness seem more beautiful than the light. The award winning singer-songwriter has hypnotized audiences across the country, and is currently playing shows to promote his new album Burlap and Gold, a Southern Gothic collection of stories told from the perspectives of the hardscrabble everymen and everywomen of his small Southern town. Alone on stage, his acoustic guitar or banjo are the only foil needed for the dark poetry of his lyrics that sting with heartbreak, addiction, despair, hope, and hard-earned wisdom. But it's truly his remarkable voice that seems to bring an audience to a breathless silence--dipping low and smoky one minute and sailing into a spine-tingling falsetto at others, but usually somewhere in between, and always hauntingly beautiful.
