Matt Elias

About

Matt Elias grew up in one of many small coal towns in southwestern Pennsylvania, helping out on his grandfather&#39;s farm and making his own fun, which mostly meant playing the guitar and using whatever substances he could get his hands on. He has honed his craft starting at age 9: playing lead guitar and being a side man in bands ranging from rock n&#39; roll to death metal, from tribute bands to Americana. He currently plays guitar in both <a href="spotify:artist:4gIJr90zF8YiXUvESDwG9U" data-name="Feralcat and the Wild">Feralcat and the Wild</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5fsK6ldf347KF23rLqn0wv" data-name="Bonnie &amp; the Mere Mortals">Bonnie &amp; the Mere Mortals</a>, as well as several cover and tribute acts. He has played thousands of shows in over a dozen states, all the while preparing to step to center stage in his own way. Elias has never been a fan of celebrity, stardom, or big personalities, but the music is a different story. To Elias, the song is the hero, not the person who wrote it, and his songs have plenty to say. Elias writes songs as a conduit, stepping out of the way so the stories can take the limelight. &#34;Soil,&#34; Matt Elias&#39;s upcoming first album, is the culmination of years of stories--stories of dedication, love and loss, personal battles with addiction, and life and growth in a crumbling Appalachian coal town. &#34;Soil&#34; drops on February 29, 2024, and we&#39;re guaranteed more stories from a man worth listening to. Follow him on Instagram, TikTok, and Youtube, and keep an eye out for his debut tour in 2024.
