Matt Farris

Country music singer-songwriter Matt Farris has been releasing music for a decade. His debut single, ‘Redneck Radio’ (2011), reached the top of the Indie Country World Chart. The subsequent single, ‘Resident Redneck’, received a nomination for New Music Weekly’s Country Single of the Year Award. More recent releases include the track ‘Just Having One’ and the collaborative work ‘We Need Love’ with D. Lylez, a contestant from The Voice. Farris’s approach to music involves embracing the core elements of country music while also incorporating elements from pop and rock genres.

Originally from Arizona, Farris initially pursued a career as an EMT and firefighter after completing his education. A pivotal event occurred when he and his father were involved in a shooting incident while attempting to prevent a truck theft. Both individuals survived this event. This experience led Farris to dedicate his efforts to music. He subsequently formed a band with his father and grandfather, performing at local venues. His involvement in a local talent competition, where he advanced to the state finals, further solidified his musical aspirations. In 2010, Farris relocated to Nashville to establish himself within the country music scene.

In 2011, Farris was contracted by a management company, leading to the recording of ‘Redneck Radio,’ which initiated his professional music career. He maintains an active touring schedule, performing up to 300 shows annually, and adapted to online performances during the pandemic. Throughout his career, he has performed alongside musicians such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dwight Yoakam, and Blake Shelton. His album “Keepin’ It Real” (2019) was created in collaboration with Laminate Entertainment, showcasing his dedication to artistic integrity and energy.
