An avid guitarist from the age of nine, Matt Track learned from The Beatles, played in punk bands throughout high school, took up singing in his mid-teens and at last ended up discovering that his musical path of choice actually lay in the folk/roots genre.

Having released a number of albums, played the Vans Warped Tour, opened up for David Usher and even conquered Portugal in a mini six-date tour, Matt Track has come a long way since releasing his first three-song demo, aptly titled ‘Appetizer,’ back in 2006.

His latest project – four seasons; four EPs – was born from the search to create something original and primal, without the extravagant use of effects and technology that is readily found in today’s music industry.

The result carries listeners through and interesting mélange of grooves and melodies that all sync with one another while telling a number of stories, sharing in their simplicity and the predominance of Matt’s beloved acoustic guitar.

Adding an extra layer of originality to it all, each EP was recorded outdoors in a search to showcase the natural sounds of each season on each corresponding EP.
