Biography

Nestled in the embrace of indie folk, Matt Sayers, a singer-songwriter from England with a penchant for heartfelt storytelling, draws inspiration from the revered Laurel Canyon troubadours of the 70s—think Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell. In the contemporary tapestry of his sound, echoes of Gregory Alan Isakov, Noah Gundersen, and the Milk Carton Kids find a home.

Matt’s lyrical wanderings often lead to introspective destinations. Tracks like “Dancing Girl” grapple with the weight of mortality, while “Jericho” speaks to the universal search for a place to call home. His melodies carry a delicate balance, blending the old-world charm of Laurel Canyon with a modern touch that resonates with today’s listeners.

Matt invites you to join him on a journey of self-discovery, with each song being a mirror reflecting the shared emotions and experiences that bind us all. In the gentle strumming of his guitar and the warmth of his voice, Matt finds a timeless connection that speaks to the heart.
