Biography

Embracing the freedom of the DIY music communities found throughout the country, Matthew McNeal has been defying genre where his roots run deep - Texas, USA. Grooves that roll on hypnotically like the Hill Country, breezy melodies inspired by the coastline, a dusting of ethereal pedal steel much like the late evenings in the west Texas desert, and a pining voice from east Texas, all brought to the home base of Fort Worth, where plenty of music legends have hung their hats - from Townes Van Zandt to Leon Bridges. Matthew McNeal and longtime collaborator Andre Black spent the 2010s touring relentlessly, releasing their 2015 debut Compadre, 2018’s acclaimed Good Luck, and 2020’s Good Grief LP.
 Shortly after, the band's fourth studio album Along For The Ride was released in 2021, narrating a story of love and loss from track to track. The alternative indie-rocker continues to tap frequent collaborator Ted Young (Kurt Vile, The Rolling Stones) to help co-produce and mix their albums, while their studio and live bands feature an all-star cast, featuring members of acts such as Midlake, Israel Nash, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, and Elle King. Most recently, McNeal teamed up with Alan Day of the Massachusetts pop/punk outfit Four Year Strong for ‘Catch and Release' - a song embodies the boldness and excitement of the scene McNeal grew up in as a teenager, while shining a light on another side of who Matthew McNeal is as an artist.
