  • He’s a singer and songwriter on the rise, armed with a guitar and a curious back story that reads like a Southern gothic fable. KXT welcomed the newly-signed and Virginia-based artist Matt Maeson into the studio to chat with Dave Emmert and perform three tracks from his new EP, The Hearse.

    Matts music changed me. Got me through being homeless. Not becoming an addict in hard times like my parents. Keeping my faith in god despite the hard times. Kept me from following through with my suicide plan. I felt like he put my feelings into words in his songs. It made it easier to open up because I got a better understanding of myself through his music. He's clearly my favorite artist! I know every word to every single song. Including his new song blood runs red(it's been on repeat since it was released!). I've been waiting YEARS for him to do a show in Colorado. I'm moving to Oklahoma in a few weeks and I'm just gonna keep waiting and hoping he does a show there!! I am also working on learning all of his songs on guitar but I'm struggling with the strumming the way he does.

    His music changed me. The way he moves his audience, singing effortlessly, enjoying what he does in the process. The lyrics, the beat, the tone all blend perfectly. With every strum I could feel what he felt. I envision myself blasting this with my friends in the car, not worrying about a thing. Just enjoying life with the windows down and wind running through our hair. His songs paint a picture in my mind, and even though a lot of it deals with addiction, I envision happy memories (like a light at the end of a tunnel).

    Pushing past the limit
    Trippin' on hallucinogenics
    My cigarette burnt my finger
    'Cause I forgot I lit it
    Rippin' with my sinners
    'Cause fuck it, man, I ain't no beginner
    And then I crawled back to the life
    That I said I wouldn't live in
    'Cause I just couldn't open up
    I'm always shiftin'
    Go find yourself a man
    Who's strong and tall and Christian
    Pushing past the limit
    Trippin' on hallucinogenics
    My cigarette burnt my finger
    'Cause I forgot I lit it
    Drunken in Seattle
    Two more Xans and without a paddle
    I don't remember your face
    Or your hair, or your name, or your smile
    'Cause I just couldn't open up
    I'm always shiftin'
    Go find yourself a man
    Who's strong and tall and Christian
    Pushing past the limit
    Trippin' on hallucinogenics
    And then I crawled back to the life
    That I said I wouldn't live in
    'Cause I carried on like the wayward son
    And now through and through, I've come undone
    And now I am just but the wayward man
    What with my bloodshot eyes and my shaky hand
    'Cause I carried on like the wayward son
    And now through and through, I've come undone
    And now I am just but the wayward man
    What with my bloodshot eyes and my shaky hand
    Pushing past the limit
    Trippin' on hallucinogenics
    My cigarette burnt my finger
