Matthew Curry Band

Matthew Curry has built a multi-generational audience through a deep, pure connection forged with fans that have encountered him via headline appearances and cherished support opportunities from some of the most successful touring artists in the history of music, he is a singer-songwriter writing songs that draw from personal inspirations, incorporating elements of blues, rock, southern rock, and old-school country into his repertoire. His guitar playing is becoming world-renowned, yet for Curry, his perspective is broader sharing, “Of course, the guitar is a HUGE part of my music, but something I like to focus on is trying to make good songs. Songs people can relate to. Songs people immediately want to sing along to or tap their feet too. It is reaffirming to experience this wide spectrum of the audience coming out, and when I’m on stage seeing a mix of young, old, and middle age, alongside an even split of males and females singing along to every song, I know that I’m headed down the right path.”

Following the release of If I Don’t Get You (2014) and Electric Religion (2015), Curry returns with the new EP Shine On. He is a prolific writer who aims to write and record a new release annually. When asked about the new songs, he prefers to leave interpretation in some cases to the listener, while being transparently forthcoming with others. The opener, “Blink of an Eye” finds the songwriter channeling inspiration from the Black Crowes, Eagles perhaps a bit of Chris Stapleton as he sings of the woes of losing a woman, out of selfishness. The harder-edged rocker “Caroline” is a feel-good track. Curry offers, “The song presents that scenario where many young guys and gals face a young lady’s father not pleased about the relationship, and the challenges of sneaking away for love. This one is a really fun one to play cause it always seems very easy for the audience to dance and sing along with it.” The title track “Shine On” displays the artist’s connection to the beauty of Memphis Soul and Muscle Shoals Southern Gospel Rock that shines with simple purity as he delivers the uplifting yet heavy lyrics. “Matter Of Time” follows with a softer, easy-listening tone. Curry shares, “We’ve all experienced love that we thought would last eternity, and didn’t quite end up working that way.” The final track “Draw The Line” is a bit ambiguous by intent leaving the listener to find personal meaning. Curry continues to grow year after year as a writer and is the antithesis of those who created in a confined space. The songs reflect his style and sound yet no two sound the same. There is nothing cookie-cutter about his approach or execution, and that trend seems to continue throughout his three offerings thus far.

Alongside a ton of headline dates across the U.S. and isolated appearances overseas, Matthew Curry has had the honor of touring with the Doobie Bros, Steve Miller, Peter Frampton, Journey, and others. He shares, “I’ve learned a lot in doing this. And I’ve also been lucky enough to have befriended these guys as well. Peter Frampton shared to 96.5 The Fox, “… someone asked me in an interview today if I thought there could be any more guitar heroes. Well, hell yes of course and Matthew will prove that to be true.”

Matthew Curry continues to gain notoriety and his career in its essence is the definition of a bright future. It is his opinion that Rock n Roll is the genre within the music that truly and profoundly speaks from and to the soul.
