MAT KEARNEY
OCTOBER 3, 9PM
NEUMO’S -- ALL AGES

Released via an independent label, MAT KEARNEY’s first album, Bullet, sold nearly 40,000 copies. The singer-songwriter is poised to reach a new level of success with his major label debut, Nothing Left To Lose [Aware/Columbia Records], being released April 18. The title track is currently in top 20 rotation on Triple A Radio. While in college, the Oregon-native visited Nashville on a summer break. In the country music capital he began writing emotionally complex songs dealing with redemption and spirituality that were inspired by the works of Southern writers such as Flannery O’Conner and William Faulkner. After writing four songs, Kearney called home to say he would not be coming back and began performing at songwriter nights at local venues alongside Nickel Creek and Duncan Sheik. Following a performance in Chicago, Aware Records president Gregg Latterman immediately signed him. Nothing Left To Lose features 13 original tracks produced by Robert Marvin and recorded at Bridge Street, The Smokehouse and Sweetbriar Studios. Kearney plays acoustic guitar and is joined by Paul Moak (guitar), Lynn Nichols (guitar), Tony Lucido (bass), Lindsay Jamieson (drums) and others.
