Live Outdoor Music with Matt York-Johnny Cash Songs!

We are excited to welcome back longtime New England musician/author for another live, outdoor acoustical performance on the lawn on Wednesday evening, August 30th, from 5:30-7 pm (rescheduled from Aug 15th). Bring your chair or blanket! The concert will be canceled in the event of rain.

 Matt will perform the songs of Johnny Cash and tell stories about Cash’s career spanning from the 1950’s to his passing in 2003. He’ll discuss Cash’s emergence as a groundbreaking artist in the 1950’s, his marriage to June Carter and many other career highlights. He’ll also perform some songs by the many artists Cash collaborated with during his career. 

In 2022, he was nominated for the Boston Music Award for Best Country Artist and his album Gently Used was just named one of Worcester Magazine’s best albums of 2022. He has four albums and a recent single. Matt’s music explores a cross-section of everything from straight-up rock and roll to hints of country. Check out his site at mattyorkmusic.com!

The Boston Globe named his album “Bruisable Heart” on of their top albums of 2019, and he has been nominated twice as Best Male Artist by the New England Music Awards.  The Boston Herald said of his album, “Boston, Texas”, that the singer-songwriter uses basic building blocks-Buddy Holly’s chords, Hank Williams’ swagger, Steve Earle’s boozy wisdom, Paul Westerberg’s straight-up drunk wisdom-to construct an album of beauty, optimism and heartbreak”.

We thank the Trustees of the Falmouth Public Library for sponsoring this concert.
