“So excited to return to the legendary Cactus Cafe stage with dear friends, Austin band Ukemi. It’ll be an acoustic band show for both of us, I’ll have Tony Perez on 🎻 and Scott Yates (bass) and both bands will share our best kept secret, our drummer - the energy will be off the charts. Can’t wait!” - Matthew PayneMatthew Payne Bio:
Combine Townes Van Zandt with Jimmie Rodgers, and somewhere in the middle, you’ll find Matthew Payne.
Texas songwriter and Americana artist Matthew Payne grew up in the beautiful hill country surrounding Dripping Springs, and worked as an educator in Austin for almost two decades. He taught high school English and Creative Writing, and loved every minute of it. The release of his debut EP, Coyote Howlin Blues, showcases an earthy, down-home style reminiscent of the old-time country and acoustic blues traditions of Texas songwriters mixed with Appalachian folk. It explores the human heart at its raw depth. It’s a love story, perhaps, among other things, and howls like the wild coyote. “Matthew’s vocals crack with raw authenticity and the songs sparkle like bright amethysts you find when you split open the dusty rocks of life,” says Americana Highways.
Dear special guests, Austin band Ukemi is:
"Theatre for the ears. An honest, powerful and entertaining record."
- Richard Dodd, Grammy Award-Winning Producer (Tom Petty, The Wallflowers)
"Dynamic, cinematic, cathartic, and dense. Brings to mind gypsy rock, indie folk, and a film score - all in one night."
