NASHVILLE – Artist/songwriter Matt Rogers mines emotional bedrock in Coal, his debut Vere Music record. Listen HERE.
Hailed for his raw, country-at-heart/blues in his soul style of music, Coal, which was produced by Colt Capperrune, is a collection of self-penned songs that deftly broach the expanse of sentiment from love won to love lost. The award-winning songwriter provides an unfiltered look at the scope of relationships with gripping lyrics and unmistakable melodies.
“I’m drawn to songs that express the granular emotion of a moment,” said Rogers. “They are emotional at their core.”
The project includes his debut single “Fallout,” about the painful aftermath of heartbreak, the trust-testing “Be Like Him,” “Thunderbird,” with a message of father/son bonding and deeper lessons, “Hurt Like You,” a searing duet about the intersection of longing and regret, and the award-winning title track, which searches for hidden value in the things that matter, from a junked truck, marriage, and at the center of it all – faith.
The Durango Boot ambassador has reached a growing, global audience performing weekly since 2018 at Ole Red in Nashville and an extensive tour schedule across the U.S. Rogers recently announced his 2022 spring tour dates with concerts in Savannah, Columbus, Evansville, Milwaukee, Columbia, and more see the full schedule HERE.
On stage, Rogers has created a meaningful bond with listeners that connect to his authenticity, but he is equally at home in the writers’ room penning songs with some of the best tunesmiths in Music City and winning numerous awards.
Rogers has been releasing music since moving to Nashville in 2017 including his critically acclaimed sophomore EP, Richest Place On Earth. His single “Peaches and Pecans” from the project pays homage to the Peach State and was a popular anthem at University of Georgia home games at Stanford Stadium during their 2018 standout football season. In 2019, Rogers’ buzz-worthy single “Burn The Boat” made waves when it landed on Buzzfeed’s “Top 10 Hottest Country Summer Jams” alongside songs by Luke Combs and Carrie Underwood.
