World United Music: Matt Hutchison

About: Matt Hutchison

From the very beginning, Matt has been inspired by a good song and story. When he was six years old, he fell for The Beatles so hard that he thought he was in fact Paul McCartney, even going so far as to put that name at the top of his school work. He later spent three of his formative years living in England soaking up the sounds of the early British Invasion and digging into the catalog of early Rock & Roll and Country Western music.

Matt's grandfather, "Pappy", built a cabin on Cove Mountain in the George Washington National Forest of West Virginia. Originally intended as a hunting getaway, Matt now considers this place his songwriting home. The only thing he hunts for these days is a good melody and a whiskey buzz. With no running water or electricity, he goes back in time with old-time country radio and setting a rhythm to the rising and setting of the sun.

His latest project “Three Minute Man,” is a reflection of a simpler songwriting approach in a collection of new songs that clock in around 3 minutes each. Breathing life into these songs is a band of old friends and fine musicians from Baltimore and surrounding locales.

Keep your ears to the ground for “Three Minute Man,” due out November 2014.
