Matthew Douglas Simpson

Husband, storyteller, singer, songwriter, and worship minister at his home church in Cynthiana, KY, Matthew Douglas Simpson uses music and authentic stories from his rural beginnings to bring hope to every person sitting in a barstool or church pew throughout the U.S.

Having worked in both the secular and Christian sides of the music business, Matthew never truly felt at home on either side. It wasn’t until he began to blur those lines that he realized he’d found his true artistry. With the trials of life as his inspiration, Simpson’s songs are a canvas filled with love, affliction, and the hope that dwells between the two. This journey has taken him from churches to prisons and to all the dive bars in between, searching for a few late night conversations about love, life, and the bright darkness of faith.

“At the end of the day we all have a story to tell, a dark, messy, broken, heart wrenching story that has the power to heal. A story that when told honestly brings a light to the lonely and a future to the hopeless.” - Matthew Douglas Simpson

Matthew looks forward to sharing many more stories, playing many more shows, and continuing to grow in his craft and his faith. Life can be crazy and messy but he wouldn’t have it any other way!
