Prior to landing at Neon Gold and Atlantic Records, Matt Maeson honed his skills on some daunting stages. As part of his family’s ministry, he played “songs about salvation” at prisons, and “in front of strippers and Hell's Angels at Sturgis, one of the biggest motorcycle rallies in the world.” There was plenty in between, but eventually, his first songs would go online in 2015 and 2016.

We pick up the story with his 2018 release, “The Hearse,” while Maeson also discusses his admiration for fellow songwriter Andy Hull, his surprising love of Troye Sivan, and how he ended up in Nicaragua, writing some of that EP.
