Influences I have many influences from different artists through out the years. Just to name a few, Buddy Holly, Waylon Jennings, Hank Sr. and Jr. Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Johnny Paycheck, Elvis Presley, Alan Jackson, and Brad Paisley. That is just a few of many. The reason I am influenced by these artists is because they stood there ground, believed in thier music, molded thier style in musical history, mostly wrote their own music most of the time and were also great performers as well. Although I do have to say that my biggest influence would be my Dad because he taught me three chords and the truth.

   About Matt Damon Walker

Myspace Layouts
MySpace Layouts Matt Walker was raised in a small town in West Virginia in an area known for producing some of country music’s top singers, songwriters and musicians. Like many successful country singers, Matt learned to sing in church and by the age of ten he was singing alongside his dad in his family’s traveling gospel quartet. By the mid-90s Matt was writing lyrics and performing with a variety of different bands throughout southern West Virginia. In 2000, he formed his own group called “The County Line Band.” Matt played the club circuit performing both cover songs and original material and picked up a large number of loyal fans. In 2001 he was offered the opportunity to record a song to be put on an album for the “Make A Wish” Foundation. He chose to record an original song he wrote called “Daddy Did His Best” a song he had written about his father. The album was titled “The Best Of West Virginia.” It was the beginning of a successful year. He was invited to Branson, Missouri where he performed at a talent showcase and he advanced to Nashville as a finalist. In 2002 Matt returned to Nashville, Tennessee to record his first album titled “It’s Just Me and You.” The album consisted of eight songs - seven written by Matt himself. The album was recorded at the Moonlight Recording Studio and produced by former West Virginia native Dick McVey. While making the club rounds during the summer of 2003, Matt and “The County Line Band” were offered the opportunity to open a show for the “Kentucky Headhunters” at the Nicholas County Fair, in Summersville West Virginia. They repeated that performance in 2004 opening for “Confederate Railroad.” Matt recorded his second album in late 2004 with Dick McVey at Moonlight Recording Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. This album consisted of seven self-penned songs and one instrumental. The title cut from the album “Long Vacation” was released as a single and received extensive airplay in his home state in early 2005. In the spring of 2005, Matt made a permanent move to Nashville where he began performing and pitching his songs to major acts. So far he has been successful in getting material to artists such as Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, Travis Tritt, Trace Adkins, Billy Currington, and many others. Although Matt became a resident of Music City, he is still a popular attraction at clubs and events in West Virginia and returns there occasionally to perform with his band. In late 2005, he opened a show there for the Bellamy Brothers where he received a standing ovation for his original songs. In 2006, Matt began writing and recording his third album titled “Living Life My Way,” that was released in late summer. All 10 songs were written by Matt who also showed his expertise as a musician playing every instrument on the project. Matt’s goal for 2008 is to take his band on the road playing clubs, casinos, fairs and festivals all across the United States. While on the road he will continue to write and when he is in Nashville he will record and pitch his songs to other artists. He is now represented by Chris Keaton, a noted Nashville song plugger who has been successful in getting songs recorded by Lonestar and other acts. Chris is confident you will soon be hearing Matt’s songs on radio stations all across the country. Matt is also being represented by Dick McVey who is handling promotion, publicity and management consulting for Matt. If the progress made over the past year and a half is any indication, it would be likely that Matt is well on his way to great success in 2008. For more information on Matt, please check out his website at www.mattwalker.net.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks

Hey Matt, I remember you from a gig where I filled in For Buddy Petry in Summersville, WV. It was a few years ago. Buddy's drummer was Bob Hennesy and his son was playing drums for you if I remember correctly. I don't play much anymore except at home. It's good to hear from you. I hope you are doing well.
