By day, you can find country singer-songwriter Matt Daniel riding horseback across sprawling Texas fields. By night, he can be seen performing in a dimly lit music venue for a captivated audience, cheering on his unmistakably country sound.

His music channels some of the genre’s defining elements, like rich storytelling and soulful vocals that soar with a yodel-like tone during choruses. His mix of country-western and classic country stylings are accentuated by the polished Lonestar flare. While listening to his work, comparisons to some of country’s earliest and most influential musicians come to mind, from Hank Williams to Patsy Cline.
