Matt Daniel Earns His First #1 with "Keepin Me Alive"

Matt Daniel is a singer-songwriter out of Seymour, Texas. Matt’s Debut Texas Red Dirt single “Keepin Me Alive” is an upbeat, smokin’ cool groove with strong country vocals ropin’ you into a catchy hook, ‘This hard livin’ would kill an average man, but it’s Keepin’ Me Alive!’

His music finds inspiration behind the life of a drifter. From serving in the Air Force, to living on ranches, to living out of his car and sleeping behind bars and honky tonks all over Texas, Matt has experienced life on many different avenues. Through many highs and lows Matt has been a believer in pursuing the things that he loves most while striving for a life of simplicity. He spends as much time as he can horseback and often finds himself day-working on different ranches throughout the year. If he’s not traveling to punch cows, he’s probably traveling to the next gig either solo or with his band, the “Frio Trio”. Matt released his first record titled “All I’ll Ever Need” in 2022, and is set to release his second record, produced by “Banjo” Ben Clark, in the Spring of 2025.
