Matt Singer

Matt Singer has performed in several Puppet Playlists.

Twenty-two years ago, Matt’s kindergarten teacher recommended that he be seen by a child psychologist for a formal evaluation. The doctor said this:

Nowadays, Matt tries new things on stage and in recordings, telling his listeners all about his ugly demons. And his cute ones too. He has a sense of tragedy. He also has a sense of humor. Using his sixth sense for songwriting, Matt brings crafty lyricism and a warm sound, placing his listener around a campfire, in the middle of a city street. His “eclectic material ranges from weepy to silly to sincere” (The Deli), and his love for storytelling manifests in the authentic characters that live in his songs. His last full-length release, entitled All Us Heathens was described as... "Bringin' It All Back meets Fear of a Black Planet meets A Prairie Home Companion… one complex package” (Urban Folk) and his newest EP The Drought (Family Records), is an “endlessly compelling album” (Pop Headwound). Matt's played some of the best clubs in New York, including Bowery Ballroom, The Living Room, Joe's Pub and Gramercy Theater. In March 2010, he will be releasing a live album, featuring 16 tracks, which listeners will be able to download and "pay only what you wish." Look out for it.
