The Martha Bassett Show - Crys Matthews
15
2024
Already being hailed as βthe next Woody Guthrie,β DC resident Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers. A powerful lyricist whose songs of compassionate dissent reflect her lived experience as what she lightheartedly calls "the poster-child for intersectionality." With the release of her new, hope-fueled, love-filled social justice album "Changemakers," Matthews hopes to take her place alongside some of her heroes in the world of social justice.
The Martha Bassett Show is modeled on old-time radio shows with a hint of the modern. It draws on influences from far and wide, but maintains the distinct feel and flair of North Carolina's Piedmont region. Host Martha Bassett has been making music in NC and beyond for more than 20 years.
