Matthew Woodward is a songwriter, guitarist, and singer based in Las Vegas, NV USA, but originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA.
Tulsa, OK has always been a musical melting pot, and the best musicians that are from that area are known to put their own spin on their musical influences as opposed to directly mirroring them, which is encouraged. This philosophy is at the core of what has been dubbed the "Tulsa Sound". Matthew is no exception to this philosophy. Whether within his original compositions or collaborations with others, a familiar yet new sound is there. The influences are there without being obvious or gratuitously derivative, giving off a fresh new sound. Matthew leaves enough space in his music to allow his fans find their own voice within each composition, and indulges the listener with lyrics of a broad enough scope for them to hopefully find their own meaning within. The rhythm and instrumentation will coerce your body to move, all while creating the atmosphere that you are hearing something that you have always known yet never experienced.
