Matt Urmy
Born in New York City, but raised in Music City, Matt Urmy walks in the footsteps of many traditions, where poetry, music, and the healing arts are all connected. A troubadour spirit, performer and composer, he has two independent album releases, Shadow of a Lovely Place and New Season Coming, and a book of poetry--Ghosts in a House. His performances weave spoken word poetry into his folk-blues style of storytelling and singing that has been described as some of the very best Americana being made today. Renowned Tennessee poet and songwriter, RB Morris, says "Matt's a really fine poet and songwriter, and a great live renderer of it all. He's lifted the creative warrior spirit among us. And that's what we need."
