Who is matt wertz dating

Ultimately, the thing that you and I have here—between the words and the chords and the lights and the beats—that is the thing that encourages me to keep singing. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.Matt Wertz is a singer/songwriter from Liberty, Missouri.So, I’d like to be the one to tell you where I come from, why I write music, what I’ve seen happen along the way, and where I see things going according to my finite vision. Dorm life served to provide a small, built–in audience who graciously embraced my first attempts at songwriting.I’m from Liberty, Missouri, but have called Nashville, Tennessee, home for the last seven years. Before I knew it, I was recording versions of those songs on my roommate’s computer and burning copies for my new cohabiting fans.Finally I encountered a label that felt right, a label that could pull the trigger, a label that understood where I was coming from. The record that will be released on Universal Republic is called Under Summer Sun and it is a combination of my favorite songs from my first few independent releases, like “” and “Everything’s Right,” as well as four new songs.Among the new tracks are “Waiting,” an introspective bedroom song that deals with the fear that I’m “growing old but not quite growing up,” and “Summer Sun,” my best effort at a nostalgic summer love song in the vein of Stevie Wonder musically and Don Henley emotionally.Creative Artists Agency got involved booking my shows. And a bunch of record labels started knocking down my door. Ed and I began working on Everything in Between in February 2005, hitting the studio sporadically whenever I had breaks from the road.

On the heels of the Twenty Three Places release, people started taking notice. I did what I’d always done: I recorded another record on my own and kept touring.Something changed after 2014's Heatwave, a record that shone a neon light on Wertz's appreciation for '80s pop music.Wertz realized he'd grown perhaps a bit too comfortable in Nashville, where he'd been making music for more than a decade.And the rest of the songs will strike a chord with anyone who enjoys soulful, carefree, singer-songwriter pop music. Because these songs emanate from the pages of my life, and I’ve seen first-hand the way that people have connected with them from their own experiences.In eight years of touring through hundreds of venues, playing three albums’ worth of songs for thousands of listeners, that connection is what fuels my passion.
