A troubadour of truth and one of the brightest stars in a new generation of social justice music-makers, Crys Matthews is made for these times. Based in Nashville and raised in North Carolina, Matthews is a preacher’s kid, a Black woman, a butch lesbian, and a proud Southerner whose bold blend of Americana, folk, country, and blues is steeped in tradition and driven by purpose. Her latest album, “Reclamation,” marks her most expansive and personal work yet. It’s a love letter to her roots and a defiant reclaiming of space: in Americana, in country music, in faith, and in the South. Named 2025 Artist of the Year by the International Folk Music Awards, Matthews has earned acclaim for her warm, powerful voice and songs that illuminate injustice while uplifting the human spirit. ASCAP’s Eric Philbrook describes her as a voice that “lifts our spirits just when we need it most.” With a mission “to amplify the voices of the unheard and shed light on the unseen,” Matthews turns stages into sanctuaries—where hope is radical, love is loud, and the music is always a movement.

Heather Mae isn’t just writing songs—she’s writing revolutions. A genre-defying powerhouse known for her unflinching honesty and rabble-rousing spirit, Heather Mae fuses the storytelling depth of folk, the infectious hooks of indie pop, and the grit of indie-alt to create anthems for outsiders, survivors, and seekers of radical joy. Whether she’s singing about mental health, queer liberation, racial justice, or the resilience it takes to survive deep trauma, Mae’s music holds space for those who’ve been told they don’t belong. Equal parts protest and revolution, Heather Mae’s music is a battle cry, a balm, and a bold reminder that we’re not alone—and we’re not going anywhere.
