Long-time Iowa singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Iowa Rock-and-Roll Hall of Famer Matt Terronez will release his long-awaited debut album, Tell Me A Story, on February 27, 2026, via all major streaming platforms.

A 10-song collection of warm, genre-blending pop/pop-jazz storytelling, Tell Me A Story showcases Terronez’ distinctive, soulful baritone voice, richly layered arrangements, and deeply visual lyrics. The album moves effortlessly between energetic pop and subtle jazz textures while maintaining a cohesive emotional core.

Highlights include:
• “Fear of Falling” featuring shared lead vocals with Kathryn Fox (The Weary Ramblers)
• The driving, hook-forward single “True Love”
• A hypnotic reinterpretation of “Blackbird” (Lennon/McCartney)
• “Too Much TV” featuring acclaimed Iowa guitarist Craig Erickson
• “Eyes of A Child” featuring Dave Ducharme (Ducharme-Jones)

Self-produced, arranged, recorded, and predominantly performed by Terronez, the album features nine original songs and one cover, reflecting a deeply personal yet widely relatable exploration of love, memory, and the moments that shape us.

“No single song defines this album. There was an era when artists aimed to sound unlike anyone else — when eclectic records were the norm. I produced this album with that spirit in mind, and to tell the stories I felt drawn to tell – about life – and about love – love won and lost, true and false, fleeting and everlasting. These songs come from real moments, and I hope listeners hear pieces of their own story in them.” — Matt Terronez

Suggested For Fans Of: Beck · Donald Fagen · Sting · Allen Stone
Genre positioning: Adult Contemporary / Indie Pop / Pop-Jazz Crossover
