HTMA President Mike Ball is honored to host Matt Prater for an evening of conversation, music, and fellowship at the home of the Huntsville Traditional Music Association, located at Lowe Mill Studio 1038.

 

Matt Prater is an extraordinary gifted local singer-songwriter and soulful storyteller with Country, Honky-Tonk, Folk and Roots Rock Music influences whose songs are relevant across generations. He has had success in writing everything from independently produced solo projects as an artist, to custom songs for others. 

"Picking up a guitar and learning to play is the easy part of songwriting. Stitching stories with a straightforward frankness and making it look easy is the tough part. Matt Prater aced both" -The Alternate Root Magazine

 "There's plenty of love in his music, which centers around his stories, and his rich melodic voice. The stories are delightful southern slices of life, each one complete in its telling; his voice draws you in and makes you want to listen to every word. It's music that never gets old." -No'Ala Magazine

 "Matt Prater is a breath of country fresh air...he is real music and real songs" -Jim Seales, Shenandoah

 Matt has opened shows for several major artists and is often featured in rounds with hit writers and top shelf performers at songwriter showcases, music venues and festivals.

 Enter Lowe Mill through Door #4 on the North side of the building and take a right at the 2nd hallway. Admission is free, but a donation to HTMA will be greatly appreciated to help pay the rent and compensate our guest. See you there.
