Roots Magazine writes, “The significance of artists like Matthew Morgan in today's musical and societal landscape should not be understated. With a mission to demonstrate that alternative folk music can resonate deeply with the LGBTQIA+ community while tackling social issues, Morgan challenges the conventional narratives that have long dominated the (roots) and folk genres.”
Matthew's previous full-length album, “Timepiece” was released independently in October of 2023 receiving very positive reviews and charting at #24 in the FAI Folk Radio charts. Written and recorded in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic the album stands as an honest and heartfelt testament to the highs and lows of living through one of the most challenging and significant periods in modern history. Natalie Patrick of Earmilk states, “Each track in 'Timepiece' is a carefully crafted story, a musical narrative that invites you to explore the world through Matthew Morgan's lens. From the opening notes to the final chord, this album is a powerful statement of our shared human experience, a reflection of the times we live in, and a call to stand together for a better future.”
