Nashville-based, Oregon-born multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and producer Mat Kearney is excited to announce the May 17th release of his new self-titled studio album via Middle Kid Records. The new LP is Kearney’s first in more than three years and was produced by Kearney with help from Micah Tawkls (Hayley Williams, Liza Anne, COIN) and Marc Scibilia (Breland, Robin Schultz, Teddy Swims). Along with the album news, Kearney is announcing a massive US headline tour and releasing the captivating and buoyant new single “Palisades.”
Produced by Kearney and Tawkls and featuring The Brook and the Bluff as his backing band, Mat Kearney had this to share about the song “Palisades,” “Someone once told me as a young musician ‘enjoy it now cause you can only start a journey once.’ I look back at some pinnacle moments and realize they were lost on me at the time. That feeling of leaving home and being in the middle of a highlight reel, is what ‘Palisades’ sounds like to me where the journey is the destination.”
“Palisades” is the third single to be released ahead of his self-titled new studio album, following “Headlights Home” and “Good Thing Going On.” Written and recorded over the past couple of years with the help of some talented friends, Kearney counts this new album as one of his most personal releases and sees it as a reflection of his two-decade long career.
How are we feeling about this one?
