Matt Tedder - I Can Dream You - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Though a Parker County native, Matt Tedder has long called Fort Worth home.

It's a true joy to make music with him.Inch I Can Dream You features ten original songs, all of which were written or co-written by Tedder with help from Quist, Sean Russell (Cut Throat Finches) and Dan Dyer. For this project, Tedder unpacks two years of grief after the painful loss of his father and regains a sense of place. This new collection of songs marks a stylistic turning point in Tedder's catalog. Drawing influence from the country and folk albums he grew up listening to with his father, Tedder delivers flawless guitar riffs interspersed with soulful, emotive vocals and his most poignant, sublime songcraft to d
