Texas Country Singer Matt Caldwell In Concert Saturday Night

Nevada,Texas native Matt Caldwell brings his Texas Country roots to the Scottie's stage Saturday night.

Matt was raised on the outskirts of Dallas in the small town of Nevada, Texas (pop. 854), and he started singing in church at an early age.

Matt loved music, but began to focus most of his time around sports. Playing sports year round with baseball, basketball and becoming the starting quarterback for his high school football team. As a senior, Matt made the bold move to drop sports and start his own band.

The band was called "Texas Most Wanted," and starting playing in small bars. Within a few months the band was getting offers to play in larger clubs and festivals. Matt and his band toured for a few years in Texas before deciding to move to Nashville to focus on songwriting. Matt had to work odd jobs during his first few years in Nashville. He was trying to learn the music business and still make a living.

Within a few years of juggling his day job and writing, Matt received his first publishing contract and was able to focus on writing songs. Matt made writing songs his priority, but never let go of his desire to begin touring again. After a few years, he started to work with the Artist management team of AMP, and released his current EP "What Cowboys Do." Shortly after that he also joined the docu-reality series Troubadour, Texas and returned to his home state of Texas to begin touring again.

Matt plays his own gigs and opens for numerous Texas Artists including Roger Creager, Wade Bowen and Cody Johnson. His latest single, "I know Mexico" continues to do well on the Texas Country Music charts.

Matt continues to divide his time between writing and performing, and hopes to be back in studio recording this winter.
