Matt Axton

GENRE - Americana
WEBSITE - Mattaxton.com
Some say rock is dead, but fans of Matt Axton know that Mountain-Soul, Rock & Roll is alive and
kicking. With The Axton Musical Legacy as his guide, this West Coast-based singer/songwriter and
band leader’s music is a powerful mix of classic folk songwriter storytelling and guitar-driven
roots-rock resulting in a true Americana sound.
Axton’s distinct baritone voice, unique finger-picker guitar style and wealth of legacy stories lands
perfectly in an intimate listening room or a late-night honky-tonk. Whether it's getting crowds to kick
up some dancing dust at large festivals opening for acts like Midland, Paul Cauthen or Leftover
Salmon, getting funky entertaining packed rooms at Los Angeles’ premier Americana showcases or
bringing together local and touring bands with his Americana Joy Music Series and Tahoe Joy Festival,
the end result is always the same: good music with good people having a great time.
Grown in the mountains of Tahoe, Axton’s eclectic style was proudly honed in the heart of the Axton
Musical Legacy. Axton honors his family at every show with his own versions of their #1 hits
“Heartbreak Hotel,” “Joy to the World” and many more. Axton has recorded with music legends
Steve Feroni (Tom Petty), Hal Cragin (Iggy Pop), Durga McBroom (Pink Floyd) and collaborated on
projects such as “Abbey Road Reimaged - A Tribute to the Beatles.”
Aaron Badgley of Spill Magazine said Axton’s version of “Octopus’s Garden,” “is pure genius and the
best cover here. It is just a joy to listen to and really does stand out as an example of keeping the
beauty of the song and artists putting their own spin on things.”
Boasting over 300 original songs and some of Los Angeles’ best players behind him, Axton continues
to carve his path in the independent Americana scene and proudly celebrates the family tradition of
bringing just a little more “Joy to The World!”
