Matthew McAllister is an independent folk singer/songwriter. He was born and raised in Charlottesville and is deeply rooted in its music scene. Matthew began writing songs at age 13. He launched his musical career in 2011 playing with a band from his hometown. Currently, Matthew is focusing on writing and performing mostly solo material, occasionally accompanied by violin or lead guitar. His music is lyrically driven and somewhat autobiographical, with an emphasis on honest topics such as human frailty, redemption, doubts, and love. Whether touring, busking on his hometown street corner, or sharing stage lights with nationally-known touring acts, Matthew tries to play his music with sincerity and passion, and hopes that listeners are moved by it.
