Mat Kearney is a singer-songwriter hailing from Eugene Oregon. While Attending college on an athletic scholarship, Mat unexpectedly discovered a love for songwriting - eventually moving to Nashville on a whim to pursue a career in music. A few short years later, he broke through with the release of his album ’Nothing Left to Lose’; immediately making waves at national radio and selling nearly half a million copies to date. Since that moment, Kearney has continued to release one critically acclaimed album after another - boasting 5 hit singles on the adult top 40 radio chart since his debut in 2006. Mat has been an friend of mine for some time now, but I wanted to know more about his story - where he came from, what his family was like, and what they ate growing up in the Willamette valley of Oregon.
