Crys Matthews is a troubadour of the new era, an artist for whom music and social justice are inseparable. Her songs are more than just melodies – they are a manifesto of a generation, resonating at the crossroads of country, Americana, folk, blues, and bluegrass. A multi-award-winning poet with an impeccable sense of rhythm and meaning, she weaves traditional harmonies with raw, honest lyrics, infused with power and truth.
Her song “The Difference Between” brings together three LGBTQ artists, all of whom, like Matthews herself, have deep roots in the soil of Nashville. “This is country, too. This is about you and me,” she says, breaking down genre boundaries and defying stereotypes.
Through her music, Crys Matthews gives a voice to those who have been silenced. And in that voice, the true essence of country music rings clear.
