Matt Axton is a California-based singer-songwriter, guitarist, and band leader whose music offers a “humble slice of Americana,” blending folk, funk, country, blues, and rock. Known for his calm yet commanding storytelling, Matt captivates listeners with his rich baritone voice and intricate finger-picking guitar style.
“Some say music runs in the blood, and I’m fortunate to be part of a storied musical lineage. I proudly carry on the Axton Family Legacy, guided by the remarkable influences of my grandmother Mae Axton, the ‘Queen Mother of Nashville’ and co-writer of ‘Heartbreak Hotel,’ my father Hoyt Axton, renowned for ‘Joy to the World’ and ‘Della and the Dealer,’ and my mother Donna Axton, a distinguished composer and piano master. Their legacy has been the foundation for my own musical journey.”
Tulsa Time House Concerts are always BYOB and potluck events. We open the gates at 6:30 with music starting at 7:30. This gives everyone an opportunity to choose their seats then grab a bite and mingle with like minded music lovers. House concerts have become popular among people who want a more intimate setting, a safe and welcoming place for those who come solo and a chance to see and hear their favorite artists without the distractions of a club. Everyone is expected to respect the artist and others at the show by limiting conversations to before and between sets. Drinking, of course, is allowed, but please remember that “When you drink, you’re louder than you think.”
Weather permitting, shows are on the backyard stage, so please bring a lawn chair. Otherwise the show is inside where all seating is provided.
