MAT KEARNEY Releases His Self-Titled Album Mat Kearney (still drowning in nostalgia)

Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Mat Kearney recently has released his self-titled Deluxe Album (still drowning in nostalgia) that is out now on all platforms.

It took Mat Kearney nearly a half a dozen albums to title a record with his own name. But sometime in early 2023, as he sat with the exceptionally warm and true songs comprising his seventh studio release, the Nashville -based artist realized that this was the album to make the cut.

The independence was largely a product of Mat having spent ten years tightening his recording game a this own Black Barn home studio, now a well-worn creative hub “with an old piano, dusty cables running  into the garage, like a chia pet that keeps on growing,” he says. “It’s like an old friend, where you know their strengths and weaknesses, and you work within  their limitations.” At the end of 2022, when the arrival of a third daughter brought the need for a bigger home, Mat leaned in for a last dance with Black Barn, using it to record and produce the bulk of the 12 songs on Mat Kearney. “I’d been growing as a producer for years, working more and more on each record, and on this one, I decided to make the leap,” he says. “To trust my own gut and abilities enough not to pull in someone from the bench at the lastminute.

In support his new music Mat will be touring the rest of the year. All tickets can be purchased at https://www.matkearney.com/tour.  See all tour dates below.
