An Evening with Crys Matthews Live at Waldo's Coffeehouse (Atlanta)

Waldo's Coffeehouse is excited to present an Evening with Crys Matthews in her only Atlanta-area performance. There is limited seating - get your ticket early.

A troubadour of truth, Nashville resident Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers. An award-winning, prolific lyricist and composer, Matthews blends Country, Americana, Folk, Blues, and Bluegrass into a bold, complex performance steeped in traditional melodies punctuated by honest, original lyrics. She is made for these times.

Of her most recent recording, Reclamation, Matthews says, “This album is both sonically and ideologically the fullest representation of who I am as an artist and as a human.”

A preacher’s kid, a Black woman, a butch lesbian and a proud Southerner, Matthews places social justice music alongside traditional country and Americana. Through Reclamation, she is reclaiming the space historically denied to Black artists in country and Americana music, to LGBTQ+ people in communities of faith, and to women seeking autonomy over their own bodies. Above all, she is reclaiming the South that raised her.
