Matt Harlan is a troubadour of the first degree, bringing his handcrafted songs to stages across his home state of Texas, the USA and Europe. Harlan is a winner of multiple songwriting accolades, from outfits like American Songwriter, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Billboard. He was named Singer-Songwriter of the Year in the 2013 Texas Music Awards and was featured alongside a stellar cast of characters (Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark) in the documentary, “For the Sake of the Song.” His first four studio albums were well received by national and international Americana radio, with three hitting the #1 spot on the Euro Americana Chart. Matt just released his fifth album, BEST BEASTS in July 2019. In his third collaboration with producer, Rich Brotherton, this album is his first on Austin-based Eight30 Records and features songs that showcase Harlan’s literary grit while tackling some of the more difficult topics of our time. Over the years Matt has shared stages with Americana greats such as Guy Clark, James McMurtry, Hayes Carll, and John Fullbright. Look for him on the road throughout 2019.
