ABOUT THE ARTIST

Matt Robertson
Wittmann, AZ
Raised in Wyoming, Matt Robertson grew up on the back of a horse, starting colts as a young teen and riding broncs through his youth. He has been writing and playing music since the age of 16 and credits Ian Tyson and Chris LeDoux for his inspiration. In his earlier years, Matt made homemade tapes of his music and handed them out to friends and fans while he was on the rodeo trail. Now, he has eight albums and has traveled all over the western states and Canada cowboying. Matt currently resides in Arizona, starting colts and training horses for the public. His experiences and appreciation for horses and the West have shaped his life, and his music is a reflection of that.
