Matt Powell
Bio
Matt Powell has been a musical presence in Austin since his arrival nearly a dozen years ago. Yet, like so many musicians, he’s still struggling to make ends meet as an artist. So he’s doing what several of his peers have done — he’s packing up his gear and heading down that well-trodden path from Austin to Nashville. The former surfer — he left behind his beloved Outer Banks, N.C., to follow his muse — is hoping to catch a wave of momentum with the release of his latest album, New Kind of Something. Drawing from many musical styles, Powell has crafted a fine album of tunes best described as Americana; New Kind of Something both draws upon and encapsulates his pop leanings, his love of bluegrass and some grounding in blues, country, rock, folk and just about any other roots-music form. He can’t put his finger on an exact description because, he says, “It’s still shaping into its own thing.
Powell produced all of the music for Discovery channel show “Texas Car Wars”.
