Songs Matter is new podcast hosted by touring songwriter Matt Woods. Matt is a product of Appalachia and it is through this filter that he distills the world, both external and internal, into his unique brand of songwriting. In this series, Matt sits down with several acclaimed working songwriters and rising stars in the Americana genre to discuss the art and craft of songwriting. These conversations delve deep into each writer's processes uncovering a wide variety of similarities and differences in how each approaches their art. Filled with stories, music, insights, and laughs along the way, the Songs Matter podcast has something for any fan of music who has ever been curious about how the songs come to life.

Season One was recorded live in venues across Tennessee and Florida in the early months of 2022 as the world was still slowly starting to spin after an unprecedented couple of years. In this season some of the discussion touches on how that moment in time affected folks and how they approached their own writing. The shows were in front of live audiences as you will hear in the recordings. These episodes have been editied into consumable lengths with bonus content to follow from each artist. Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to ensure you don't miss a moment!
