Matt Gower is a Hard Folk singer-songwriter from Ottawa, Ontario. Over the years, Matt has embodied the folk tradition by blending an array of styles into his music. Elements of alt-country, old-time Appalachian tunes, bluegrass, and roots-rock underscore a powerful voice that’s vulnerable, honest and dynamic. Matt’s wide-ranging and eclectic musical influences include Wilco, Bruce Springsteen, Adrianne Lenker and Jason Isbell. 

With lyrics about generational trauma, death, emotional support, fatherhood, LGBTQ2S+ rights, murder, fascism, apathy, and introspection, nothing about Matt Gower’s songwriting is “easy”. The truth, technique and talent he’s come to embrace are all hard-earned. That’s Hard Folk.
