An Evening with Matt Axton

Matt Axton’s “Humble Slice of Americana” will appeal to fans of his father Hoyt Axton, The Allman Brothers Band, Grace Potter, and Willie Nelson.

A Modern Troubadour, Matt has built up a national fan base with over 40,000 social media followers and an active Facebook Fan Page with consistent interaction with his fans. He’s toured or played with Leftover Salmon, Nikki Lane, Dead Winter Carpenters, Paul Cauthen and Midland. Matt has been releasing music consistently since he started touring nationally starting with his song “Blue Sky Rain” in 2022 and most recently “Crazy City” in 2024.

A California native influenced by the melting pot of American music, Matt’s eclectic style was grown in the Sierra Nevada mountains surrounding Lake Tahoe and proudly honed in the heart of the the Axton Musical Legacy. Matt’s grandmother, Mae Boren Axton, co-penned Elvis Presley’s first million selling hit “Heartbreak Hotel” while Matt’s father, Hoyt Axton, was a musical powerhouse in the folk-country-rock scene writing hits heard everyday around the world like “Joy to the World,” “Never Been to Spain,” (Three Dog Night) “The No No Song” (Ringo Starr) and many more.
