About our guest:
Matt McClure is a Western Kentucky native whose music is rooted in resilience, authenticity, and family. After moving to Nashville a decade ago with little more than a guitar and a dream, he built a career while supporting his family as a tour bus driver for some of the biggest names in music.
In 2024, Matt’s own voice broke through with the viral success of “The Shore”, a raw track about breaking free from a toxic relationship. The song resonated worldwide, sparking a wave of connection that launched his music career. Since then, he’s released six more singles—“Nosebleed,” “I Met a Man,” “Lead Me On,” “The Game,” “The Lion,” and “Clock on the Wall”—amassing a following of more than 600,000 and millions of streams.
But for Matt, it’s not about numbers. His songs, tackling topics from domestic abuse and mental health to the fentanyl crisis, have inspired thousands to find hope and healing. His growing community has become what he calls a “healing hub,” with therapists even using his music in sessions to help patients open up and heal. For Matt, every song is proof that music can connect, heal, and save lives.
