Matt Skinner

The Matt Skinner Band is a 4-piece alt-country/ roots-rock band headquartered in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in the city of Fort Collins, Colorado. Lead by veteran singer-songwriter Matt Skinner, the group brings its ferocious, high energy brand of original, rock-infused country music to the stage night after night after night.

“That smooth, powerful tenor drawl that evokes the best of both Kings: country legend George Strait and rockabilly legend Elvis.” -TEXAS MUSIC MAGAZINE

Skinner’s lyrics capture the raw human spirit and come to life as the band deftly weaves a colorful tapestry of songs and stories of love and danger with a passion born of living and tempered with an infectious groove. The detail and imagery of each song is magnified by the intense electricity of the band as Skinner’s powerful, road-worn tenor voice commands the stage with a presence that is spellbinding in its organic honesty and resonance. Each performance is a thrilling, emotional carnival ride filled love, laughter, pain and heartbreak layered with electric guitars.

The Matt Skinner Band features Matt Skinner on electric guitar and vocals, multi-instrumentalist Darren Radach on Drums and Mandolin, Ben O’Connor on bass, and the great Ansel Foxley on electric dobro.

The Matt Skinner Band has released three albums: Four Winds (2001), The Nighthawk Affair (2007) and Live at StoneCringe: Vol I (2009) and Native Stranger: Part 1-Fandango (2013).

The band is currently finishing up a new single to be released in advance of a new full-length album (coming Spring 2017).
