Already being hailed as “the next Woody Guthrie,” Nashville resident Crys Matthews is among the
brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers. A powerful lyricist whose songs of
compassionate dissent reflect her lived experience as what she lightheartedly calls "the poster child for
intersectionality," Justin Hiltner of Bluegrass Situation called Matthews’s gift "a reminder of what
beauty can occur when we bridge those divides." She is made for these times and, with the release of
her new, hope-fueled, love-filled social justice album Changemakers, Matthews hopes to take her
place alongside some of her heroes in the world of social-justice music like Sweet Honey in the Rock
and Holly Near. Of Matthews, ASCAP VP & Creative Director Eric Philbrook says, “By wrapping honest
emotions around her socially conscious messages and dynamically delivering them with a warm heart
and a strong voice, she lifts our spirits just when we need it most in these troubled times.”.
