Matt Bauer

Artist Description

"Heart-breaking tales of modern life, of condoms and Coke cans left by cemetery fences, and of wildfires burning in the west. Influenced by country and bluegrass Bauer is reinterpreting those traditions to create a haunting modern sound."
-San Francisco Bay Guardian

Brooklyn resident Matt Bauer grew up in Kentucky, and his music is rooted in the sounds and natural surroundings of the region. His melodies and banjo style bear the markings of traditional mountain music, but his sound is distinctly contemporary. The lyrics live unflinchingly in the present and the arrangements draw on influences as varied as gamelan orchestras and post-rock.
