From fulltime social worker to fulltime musician, Matt Santry has made the unlikely transition from playing music for Autistic children to rocking audiences of loyal fans. Santry credits the years he spent working one-on-one with children with disabilities as a contributing factor to his ability to successfully create a connection with his current audiences.
Since 2006, Santry has performed over 500 live shows in venues from Los Angeles to New York and has been quickly grabbing nationwide attention. His latest release, “Fall” is available on iTunes and Spotify.
Matt has also launched an online live concert series “Musicians House Calls Online” to bring the experience of his concerts to those who may be too get out to a show. Matt was recently featured on CBS3 in Philadelphia.
Meghan Cary didn’t mean to be a musician. When her fiancé unexpectedly died, she picked up his guitar, figured out how to play it, and wrote her debut, earning her Billboard Magazine’s Critic’s Choice for Best Newcomer.
“I wrote my grief into song, and sang my way out of the abyss. I keep making music to help others connect with their own stories and find their joy.” Known for her unabashed willingness to connect with her audience, Cary brings listeners to their feet and at times to tears with high-energy tunes, masterful storytelling, and deeply personal lyrics that resonate universally. After pushing pause on performing to raise two children,
Cary launched back onto the scene at Philly Folk Fest and was awarded a coveted Emerging Artist Showcase slot at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. Cary’s smoky voice, emotional singing, and vulnerable writing garner favorable comparisons to Melissa Etheridge, Shawn Colvin, and even Bruce Springsteen.
Cary is back in the studio now recording her next Meghan Cary with Analog Gypsies CD, including crowd favorites, “Sing louder”, “Sail Across the Water” and “River Rock”. Four albums, 43 states, 2 children, and a whole lot of music making later, this “chick with a guitar” has evolved into the front woman for a power house band complete with lush vocal harmonies, keys, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, bass and drums….oh, and that guitar.
