Matt Axton is a gifted singer/songwriter. Granted, that’s a claim made by many artists that inhabit the world of Americana these days, but in Matt’s case, it’s more than a mere boast. The ability to make music is firmly infused in his genes, courtesy of a family history that implanted that ability in him early on.
While he modestly describes his sound as a “humble slice of Americana”, it’s clear that it possesses so much more. With a style that encompasses country, folk, roots, rock, R&B, and pure pop proficiency, he defies easy categorization. With a rich reservoir of original tunes – over 300 in fact – and three well received albums (Blue Sky Rain, Matthew C. Axton and Badmoon), he’s established himself as a prolific and proficient singer, songwriter and guitarist, both on his own and at the helm of his various ensembles.
Indeed, his has been an interesting journey, one spawned from a family lineage that’s both respected and revered. Matt’s grandmother, Mae Boren Axton, co-wrote “Heartbreak Hotel” for Elvis Presley. His dad, the legendary singer-songwriter Hoyt Axton, penned some of the most indelible songs within the entire canon of popular music, among them, “Joy to the World” and “Never Been to Spain” for Three Dog Night, “The Pusher” for the band Steppenwolf, and “The No No Song,” covered by Ringo Starr. So too, his mother, Donna Axton, was a composer, an astute pianist and respected music professor.
We are thrilled to be able to present Matt on the Guthrie Center stage!
