Matt Tucker

You can travel back multiple years and see how important Charlotte's been to the world of Country Music. The music scene is moving forward and making waves in Nashville. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Matt Tucker Born in Rock Hill SC, Matt Tucker was raised on country music. Raised in a very musically inclined family, Tucker has always loved to sing and in 2008 decided to get serious with it. He began playing in honky-tonks around Rock Hill, SC with his father. Soon he was breaking out as a solo artist playing acoustic gigs. Putting together his first band, a couple years later, he began to realize his full potential and started on his journey to Nashville. Influenced by some of country music's most known legends (George Strait, Alan Jackson, Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty) and modern artists (Jake Owen, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks) just to name a few. Tucker's southern upbringing definitely shines through his songs. His music reflects the new country phase but with some ol' traditional ways. 2013 was a great year for Matt, he and all the folks behind the scenes have been making lots of friends in Music City (Nashville, TN). In October, 2013 Tucker became a SESAC affiliate known as Guitbox Publishing referred in by Hall of Fame songwriter, Sam Tate. Soon after he released a 4 song "EP” recorded in Nashville, TN at Midtown Studio with Pat Holt producing and engineering. In December of 2013 a big CD release party at one of the Southeast's premier country night clubs (Coyote Joes: Charlotte, NC) helped spark his self-written single “Tonight” to take hold and has started getting Radio airplay. Lately Matt and the band are continuing to grow and work very hard! Getting ready to hit the studio again soon to record new music and expand to a regional Country act, also a possible permanent move to Music City, Nashville TN. 2014 has been a great year for MTB, currently touring the Carolinas and surrounding promoting Matt's new EP released in October, 2013.
