Matt Axton is a multi-talented songwriter, vocalist, guitarist, and band leader. 

His Mountain Soul Rock-n-Roll 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 as the spearheading artist for the growing Los Angeles Americana scene. Matt's unique blend of Modern Americana storytelling mixed with classic country rock danceability keeps audiences of all sizes and shapes glued to the lyrics and dancing the night away. Some would say a perfect blend of old and new, just like Americana is meant to be.
