A troubadour of truth, Nashville resident Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers. An award-winning, prolific lyricist and composer, Matthews blends country, Americana, folk, blues and bluegrass into a bold, complex performance steeped in traditional melodies punctuated by honest, original lyrics. She is made for these times. A preacher's kid, a Black woman, a butch lesbian and a proud Southerner who sings social justice music right alongside "traditional" country and Americana music, Matthews is reclaiming not just of the space Black artists have been denied in country and Americana music, not just of the space LGBTQ people have been denied in communities of faith, not just of the autonomy women have been denied over their own bodies; she is reclaiming the South that raised her.
