Texas-born songwriter and guitarist Matt Tedder blends deep roots in the blues with a growing devotion to classic country and dancehall culture. Raised just outside Fort Worth, he cut his teeth on Texas blues greats before landing in Nashville for a stint at 17 to chase music full-time. In time, his influences expanded to include the likes of Merle Haggard, JJ Cale, and Guy Clark, leading him back to Texas with a fresh reverence for the country storytelling tradition. His 2023 album I Can Dream You channels both groove and restraint, inspired in part by the music that was shared with him by his late father. Now based in Austin, Tedder has become a fixture in the city’s honky tonk dance scene, with weekly residencies shaping his next project, Light Touch. The upcoming record reflects an evolving artist… one learning to play, sing, and—like his new album’s title suggests—to approach everything with a “light touch.”
