Singer-songerwriter Crys Matthews is here for a one-on-one conversation and a live studio performance!

Crys Matthews is a bright, rising singer-songwriting star on the folk, Americana and country music scenes. She has won multiple awards including the acclaimed International Folk Music Song of the Year in 2022 for her song Changemakers. In her music, she explores everyday life and love and current social justice issues like Black Lives Matter, immigration and gun safety. She cares deeply about making challenging topics approachable — and making sure everyone can jam out at her shows. We’re sitting down with her right before she records her 10th album to learn about her music, her journey and how she found her home here in Nashville.

Crys will perform the songs Cancel Culture, Like Jesus Would, Oklahoma Sunset, and (as a bonus available only on today’s podcast episode) Red.

You can find Crys’s Kickstarter for her 10th album here.

Today’s episode was produced by Katherine Ceicys and Liv Lombardi, directed by Tasha AF Lemley, and engineered by Liv Lombardi.
