ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

Crys Matthews describes herself and her music as: "Imagine Jill Scott and Otis Redding had a daughter and Tracy Chapman was her god-mother... now imagine she spent summers teaching herself piano in Chicago and guitar in the mountains of North Carolina... that would probably sound something like the music I am fortunate enough to call my own." The music is an infusion of Americana/Blues/Bluegrass/Folk/Funk/Jazz, which, as eclectic as it sounds, is reaching people all around the country and causing them to stop and take notice.

Having just returned from the Out/Loud Women's Music Festival in Eugene, OR (along with Chris Pureka and Andrea Gibson) Crys is looking to continue making a name for herself.
