Quirky Acoustic Roots-Based Pop.
Matt the Electrician is Matthew Sever, a quirky, sincere folk/pop singer songwriter based in Austin, TX. He has self-released 10 studio albums, and 2 live CDs since 1998. Matt moved to Austin, TX from the West Coast in 1996 to pursue music full time. He regularly tours all over the world, specifically The US, Canada, Western Europe and Japan. His songs have been featured on Network TV shows, in feature length movies, and in TV commercials. He regularly plays festivals, theaters, nightclubs, and house concerts, and will continue to do so until he cannot.He has performed most recently at the Newport Folk Festival, Austin City Limits Festival, Travelers’ Rest Festival, Old Settler's Music Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Sisters Folk Festival, Kerrville Folk Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, and Tondr Folk Festival in Denmark.Matt the Electrician’s 11th studio album, “The Ocean Knocked Me Down” wasreleased into the world on February 2nd, 2024. For the new project, Matt returned tohis “home studio” of sorts, The Aerie, in Austin, TX, (owned and operated by MarkAddison) where Matt had recorded 4 of his previous records, including 2009’s“Animal Boy”. And like that record, Matt and Mark played nearly all theinstruments on the new record. There are some special guest musicians as well,including MtE regulars, Seela, Jon Greene, and Stephanie Macias. Plus, first timersCarrie Rodriguez, Luke Jacobs and Oliver Steck. To call this a pandemic record mightbe slightly misguided, even though most of the songs were in fact written during 2020 and 2021. But the vibe of the record is upbeat, and weird, and fun, and sometimes sad, but hopeful, and occasionally poignant, and silly, and hopeful, but ridiculous, and also hopeful. You might think that’s a lot of vibes, but there are 16 songs on the record, because we’ve all been through a lot, and so Matt figured that, this time, everyone deserved a few more songs and a few more vibes than usual.
