Matthew Payne
Austin singer/songwriter Matthew Payne talks with Christine about his first full-length album, Better Times, coming out this Friday, April 17th. Payne shares how his background as an ELA/Creative Writing classroom teacher influenced his passion for storytelling and how his musical heroes inspired him to want to lend his own voice to the mix. A gorgeous blend of Appalachian and Texan styles along with lyrical themes that are at once personal and universal, Better Times is rhapsodic from start to finish.

Christine Davis was raised in NJ but is an honorary Midwesterner living in the Chicago area. She’s an acupuncturist by day, but there’s always music playing in her head. Live music brings her a thrill like no other, but she also listens to her favorite albums over and over (and over). A music historian at heart, she loves to find the threads that connect pieces, artists, genres, and fans together. She’s the wife of a musician, mom to two of the best humans on earth, and amateur lap steel guitarist.
