Matt the Electrician

Matt the Electrician is Matthew Sever, a quirky, sincere folk/pop singer songwriter based in Austin, TX. He has self-released 11 studio albums, and 2 live CDs since 1998. 

His most recent release, The Ocean Knocked Me Down (see video clip at left) came out on February 2, 2024. Even though most of the songs were composed during Covid, Matt describes the vibe of the record as “upbeat, and weird, and fun, and sometimes sad, but hopeful, and occasionally poignant, and silly, and hopeful, but ridiculous, and also hopeful.”
