ABOUT US
Stories Of The South is a country favoured party outfit
blending heartfelt storytelling with driving rhythms and
infectious energy – think Mr Brightside meets Country Roads.
Fronted by Matt on guitar and vocals, and powered by Tim’s
dynamic musicianship, the band delivers a sound that’s both
rich in tradition and refreshingly modern — a fusion of folk-
inspired melodies and rock-inspired grit that captivates
audiences wherever they play.
Matt leads the band with his soulful vocals and deft guitar work. A true multi-instrumentalist, he’s
equally at home on bass or behind the drum kit. When he’s not performing, Matt runs his own
recording studio, producing and recording some of the best up-and-coming artists across England.
Outside the studio, his drive extends to the open road — as an avid runner, he’s completed
numerous marathons and ultra-marathons. Whether he’s recording, performing, or training, Matt
finds balance in family life with his partner, their dog Marshall, and a shared love of music. His
influences span from experimental and progressive sounds to the new wave of country and folk — a
passion that’s seen him perform at over a thousand weddings across the UK.
Tim, raised in a musical family, has music running through his veins. His career has taken him
around the world, touring across the USA and Europe with a variety of bands. His versatility and
dedication shine through every performance, particularly when helping couples celebrate their
special day. Tim’s influences range from the hard-hitting rock of Linkin Park, Slipknot, and Limp
Bizkit to the storytelling and soul of country legends like Brad Paisley, Johnny Cash, and Chris
Stapleton. This blend of genres gives his playing a distinctive edge — a punchy mix of country
warmth and rock intensity that fuels the band’s signature sound. Offstage, Tim’s energy doesn’t
stop; he’s a dedicated gym-goer who can often be found stretching or doing push-ups backstage to
get that “pre-gig pump” before lighting up the stage.
Together, Stories of the South channel their diverse influences, world-class musicianship, and pure
passion for performance into every show. Whether playing for a festival crowd, a wedding dance
floor, or an intimate acoustic session, they bring authenticity, energy, and heart — telling stories of
life, love, and the South through every note.
