• 2026 INTERNATIONAL FOLK MUSIC AWARDS:
Nominee for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year
Crys Matthews identifies first and foremost as a Folk singer—creating music rooted in the lives, stories, and struggles of everyday people. Blending Folk, Country, Americana, Blues, and Bluegrass, her songs speak to justice, belonging, and the power of community. A Nashville-based artist with deep Southern roots, Matthews brings clarity and purpose to her songwriting, guided by her mission to amplify unheard voices and illuminate unseen stories. Her latest album, Reclamation, explores tradition, identity, and connection with honesty and care. This performance at Godfrey Daniels’ Live Music Listening Room invites listeners from across the community to gather in an intimate space and experience Folk music as it was always meant to be shared—up close, welcoming, and deeply human.
