Artist bio
Matt Axton is a multi-talented songwriter, vocalist, guitarist, and band leader. Matt's sound is a "humble slice of Americana," an earthy mix of folk, roots, country, blues, and rock. This balance of foot tapping rhythm and lyrical depth make Matt's music stand out. Matt's calm yet commanding storytelling combined with his rich baritone voice and finger picking guitar style connects with music lovers of all kinds.
Matt's eclectic style was grown in the mountains of Tahoe and proudly honed in the heart of the the Axton Musical Legacy. Matt’s grandmother, Mae Boren Axton, co-penned Elvis Presley’s first million selling hit “Heartbreak Hotel” while Matt's father, Hoyt Axton, was a musical powerhouse in the folk-country-rock scene writing hits like “Joy to the World,” “Never Been to Spain,” and many more.
Boasting over 300 original songs, Matt is making his own mark in the LA music scene with a recent single and video release of his bittersweet and bright country love song Blue Sky Rain.

What fans are saying
An absolutely fantastic evening! Very quaint and beautiful venue at The Attic in historic downtown Livingston, Montana. Having seen Hoyt Axton for decades, it is apparent that Matt has indeed made his dad proud with his distinctive guitar picking, song writing and booming voice. He is surrounded by an extremely talented band called "Badmoon". While Matt's voice has a remarkable resemblance to his dad's, he has perfected his own style and brand of music and is a great songwriter in his own right. He is definitely the caretaker of the Axton family's legacy. If you have the chance, this is a must-see performance. If you have other plans, cancel them!
