Matthew Price’s music is freewheeling folk rock. He combines vivid stories with contagious melodies. Imagine Jack Johnson meets John Prine. Matthew has just released his debut album,” Stranded”. The seven-song EP, recorded with some of the finest musicians in Oregon, is filled with rich acoustic instruments, inspired stories, and soul-stirring harmonies.
Matthew Price was born in the small town of Silverton, Oregon in 1977. His father, Dale Price was the director of Canyonview Camp, a Christian youth camp outside Silverton. As a boy, Matthew listened as his dad played folk and gospel songs around the campfire beneath a starry sky. It was there that Matthew witnessed the natural, musical, and spiritual worlds blending together in perfect harmony. It was only natural, that at age 16 Matthew would learn to play these same campfire songs using his dad’s guitar. He learned the magic of a song that could tell a story and take listeners to unique and memorable places.
