Country Concert Chronicles-Matt Stillwell
Prior to Matt Stillwell’s recent performance in Atlanta, I was able to sit down with the Sylva, NC native and chat with him about what led him to music. Before pursuing a career in music, Matt’s primary focus was playing baseball. He played at the collegiate level at Western Carolina University. Eventually he realized that professional baseball wasn’t in the cards for him and he earned a music business management degree from Belmont University in Nashville. While he had sung in the church choir and high school chorus, he didn’t decide to pursue a career in music until after he had graduated from college. “I’ve been making a living playing music for about nine years, if you can call it that,” Matt said with a smile. “I’m very blessed to be doing this!”Shinefest 2010 is here!!!
