Singer/songwriter Matt York presents an acoustic performance and discussion about the music of Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and others. Longtime New England singer/songwriter Matt York will perform the songs of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings and tell stories of their careers. The four songwriting legends joined forces in the 1980's to form the country supergroup The Highwaymen. However, prior to that, they'd each established themselves as stars and their careers intersected many times since the 1960's. York has twice been nominated as Best Male Artist by the New England Music Awards and his latest release was named one of the Boston Globe's best albums of 2019. Matt is an original artist and composer styled after classic country musicians, born in Foxborough MA. He currently lives in Pembroke, MA.
