Just a little about me... I was raised in Northern Arizona in a little town called Dewey. Calling it a Town is accurate today but when I lived there all it consisted of was a Post Office and a Gas Station. I'm number 11 of 12 kids, 7 girls and 5 boys all from one Mom and one Dad. My Dad was an Old Time Fiddler and also played the guitar and sang. On Fridays when he would come home from being away at work all week he would sit and play requests from us kids. Some of the favorites were Blood On The Saddle, Little Joe The Wrangler and my favorite The Little Mohee. My Mama would play rhythm on the guitar until he took off on Foggy Mountain Breakdown or some other fast song, she'd try but just couldn't keep up. It was my Mama that taught me my first three chords on the guitar, a few of my sisters taught me the other two. We didn't have electricity so after the sun went down there wasn't much else to do but sit and play music. In my teens I wandered into the world of Rock & Roll and still crank some Skynyrd or Zeppelin from time to time but I found my country raising had affected me for life and I started writing country songs when I was about 18. I think a lot of people want to hear new country music that still sounds like country, I hope you enjoy it. Matt Welch
