When it comes to alt country music I have always defined it in three ways in my head. A) We have the North Carolina alt country defined by Whiskeytown. B) We have the Georgia alt country defined by Drive By Truckers. C) We have that Texas alt country that I define with Old 97’s and Rhett Miller. Now, Matt Butcher doesn’t come from any of these areas and his music doesn’t actually fall within one of these.
Matt Butcher hails from Orlando, Florida and plays a more soulful Americana than the dirty rocking country found to his north in Georgia. Think more along the lines of the type of country that The Avett Brothers have defined and brought to a national stage. Fittingly, Butcher has recently been on the road with The Avett Brothers and has another show coming up in October with them. Butcher is currently touring in support of his album Me and My Friends, released in fall of 08′.
