Bio

The Nighthawk

A musician, singer, songwriter, artist and traveler, Matt follows the traditional path of the ‘poet and a one-man band’ where he holds fast to artistic integrity and truth with each note. A native of the Big Bend of Texas, graced with a keen eye for detail and imagery and coupled with a powerful, cultivated tenor voice, Skinner commands any stage with a tender ferocity and presence that is spellbinding in its organic honesty and mercurial resonance.

“That smooth, powerful tenor drawl that evokes the best of both Kings: country legend George Strait and rockabilly legend Elvis.”

-Allie Eissler, TEXAS MUSIC MAGAZINE
