Matt Bastardson writes and performs with a relatable authenticity that blurs the lines between Rustbelt grit and small town sensibilities. The common thread being we all know hard times.

"I'm a songwriter and that's a terrible business plan if your plan is to be in business and simultaneously make money. Lucky for me my plan was just to write songs and sing 'em for you good folks and get my own mind straight in the process. With any luck, maybe one of them tunes I penned will help you get your mind straight as well".
