Sunset Sail with Matt Bednarsky

His unique style draws influence from a variety of genres including pop/rock, folk, jazz, and blues. Think somewhere in between James Taylor and John Mayer with Ryan Adams and Michael Bublé mixed in.

Born to a jazz guitarist and music teacher father and a mother with a classical pedigree, Matt grew up in Shelton, CT engulfed in music. He began violin at the age of 4 (soon after left behind), guitar at age 8, and started singing probably not long after he could make farm animal noises.  He first put pen to paper in songwriting at the age of 12.

Matt attended New York University and studied Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, psychology, and music.  After studying abroad in Italy, graduating from NYU, and living at an orphanage in Trujillo, Peru for eight months, he eventually found himself back in NYC and immersed in Greenwich Village’s singer/songwriter community.  However, it wasn’t long until he made the move to Nashville in 2013 to dive into Music City’s vibrant scene.

Since then, Matt’s been full steam ahead. He’s released three full-length studio albums, “A Bigger Picture” (in part executive produced by Ed Cash) in 2014, “Two” (co-produced with Gus Berry) in 2015, and “Luminescence” (co-produced with Neilson Hubbard) in 2017.

He’s toured the country and the world, playing to audiences in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia. He opened for legendary British artist Joan Armatrading on multiple engagements during her final major tour as well as soulful American Idol Season 9 Runner-Up Crystal Bowersox. He was named a 2015 Artist of the Year by Concerts In Your Home. And, he’s built upon his expansive internet presence; currently he has over 2.7 million cumulative views on YouTube.
