Singer-songwriter Matty Travers has quietly become one of the most resonant voices in the
American indie-folk scene, known for his rich acoustic sound, evocative songwriting, and
timeless storytelling. Travers' music draws heartfelt comparisons to artists such as Gregory Alan
Isakov, Donovan Woods, and The Swell Season, blending warmth, vulnerability, and poetic
observation into every song. An artist who thrives both solo and in collaboration, Travers is a
fixture in numerous bands across the Northeast music community. He is a founding and current
member of Colder Weather and GhostXShip. He was founding member to several other beloved
projects, including Trespassers, and Of Fortune & Fame as well.
With a weathered acoustic guitar and a voice capable of both gentle intimacy and soaring
catharsis, Travers crafts songs that linger long after the last note. His lyrics explore themes of
love, loss, resilience, and the fleeting nature of time, often painted with a distinctly cinematic
quality. Travers has recently released two compelling new recordings, “The Great Anew” (2024)
— an expansive and hopeful meditation on personal transformation and new beginnings.
“Borrowed Time” (2025) — an introspective stark and beautiful song on mortality and memory.
Travers' live performances are marked by an emotional immediacy and connection with
audiences, whether in intimate listening rooms or larger festival stages. His ability to command
attention with nothing but voice and guitar is a testament to the honesty and strength of his craft.
