SUMMARY:Stone Room Concerts @ Hill Center Featuring Crys Matthews\, 2025 International Folk Music Award's Artist of the Year
DESCRIPTION:In-person Register HereA 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.\n\n\n \n\n\nOf Matthews\, ASCAP VP & Creative Director Eric Philbrook says\, “By wrapping honest emotions around her socially conscious messages and dynamically delivering them with a warm heart and a strong voice\, she lifts our spirits just when we need it most in these troubled times.” \nJustin Hiltner of Bluegrass Situation notes\, her gift is a “reminder of what beauty can occur when we bridge those divides.” In her own words\, Matthews says her mission is: “to amplify the voices of the unheard\, to shed light on the unseen\, and to be a steadfast reminder that hope and love are the truest pathways to equity and justice.” Her new album is an embodiment of and a testament to that mission. \nA daughter of the South by way of Nashville now and North Carolina forever\, and the self-proclaimed poster child of intersectionality\, Matthews is boldly answering those questions on her new album aptly titled Reclamation. \n“This album is both sonically and ideologically the fullest representation of who I am as an artist and as a human\,” she says. 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\nreclaiming the South that raised her.
