Matt Woods is a product of Appalachia. You can hear his East Tennessee roots tangled in the lines of his

songs and it is through this filter he distills the world, both external and internal, into his unique brand of

songwriting. You can call it Americana, folk rock, even country music but no matter what it’s called it is,

at its core, honest and heartfelt. Spending most of his time on the road, either engaging listeners as a solo

artist or with his band, Matt Woods and the Natural Disasters, he would say, if asked, that he is “just

trying to share some truth and get along.” 2019 brought the release of Woods’ 4th full length studio

album, Natural Disasters, and an impressive touring schedule in support of it across the US and Europe,

the latter of which having become a yearly endeavor since the release of 2016’s How To Survive. As the

global Covid-19 pandemic brought touring to a halt, Matt moved forward in other ways including

keeping connected via online events, writing for future releases, and even releasing an EP titled

Mornings After. In 2022, Matt’s song “My Southern Heart” was prominently placed in the feature film

Crawlspace, starring Henry Thomas (E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight

Mass). As we move into 2025, Woods is releasing new music in the form of digital singles while

finalizing plans for the release of his 5th full length studio album by year’s end. “Burning Bed,” the first

of those singles, will be available everywhere in January.

Both Natural Disasters and Mornings After, produced by Joey Kneiser (Glossary and Austin Lucas),

share insights to the realities of our place in time as perceived through Woods’ eyes and enriched by the

talents of Adam Meisterhans on electric guitars, Jeremy Mackinder on bass guitar, PJ Schreiner on drums,

and Mike Webb (Chris Stapleton, Poco) on keys with Lance Howell (Big Shoals) and Kashena Sampson

providing harmonies throughout. Along the way, Matt has shared the stage with the likes of Tyler

Childers, Chris Knight, Black Oak Arkansas, Frank Turner, Roger Alan Wade, Zac Brown, Drivin’ n’

Cryin’, Will Hoge, Roger Clyne (of The Refreshments), CAKE, Robbie Fulks, The White Buffalo, The

Black Lillies and others.
