Matt Campbell is a songwriter steeped in the tradition of the American Troubadour. Originally from Colorado, Campbell's restless spirit has led him from the concrete canyons of New York City to the seaside cliffs of California, with a few stops in between. Now in Chicago, he continues to write and record original music. He recently formed The Chicago Talking Machine Co., a production company working in music, short films and live events.
In the Fall of 2011 Campbell embarked on a 30-day national train tour in support of the release "Miles Apart." He recently finished a 7-day tour of California and is preparing for a Midwestern tour in the Spring. In Chicago Campbell has been seen at Park West, Schubas, Uncommon Ground, The Hungry Brain and more. His travels have found him at NYC's The Bitter End and The Living Room, LA's Genghis Cohen, Colorado's Bluebird Theater, Larimer Lounge, Soiled Dove Underground, Swallow Hill, Aggie Theater, Avo's and more.
Matt Campbell has opened for Del McCoury, The Subdudes, Martin Sexton, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Jason Boland, Corb Lund, Split Lip Rayfield and more...
