American Singer-Songwriter Matthew Griswold was born and raised in Minnesota and set out for a music career after a 5 year tour with the US Army. He spent time living in Europe and serving in Iraq, but it wasn't until he returned to the US and headed out for Nashville to make an attempt to break into the National music scene. Known for his emotional and high energy playing style, as well as his straight forward and poetic lyrics, Matthew has continued to leave his mark each and every town he plays in. Founding his own indie label "Mg Music Group", his recordings can now be found on most internet retail stores as well as at all of his live events.
