I recently interviewed Matt Combs and he shared personal stories about his friendship with the great, John Hartford. It’s good stuff, I promise.
Here’s a copy and paste from Matt’s bio. “Matt Combs is a composer, arranger, producer, author, educator, and Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist known for his work across American roots music, orchestral composition, and film and television scoring. He has provided string arrangements and performances for artists including Kacey Musgraves, The Black Keys, Sturgill Simpson, Brothers Osborne, Yola, Marcus King, Wilco, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Stephen Sanchez, Ashley McBryde, and CeeLo Green. His screen credits include Yellowstone, Red Dead Redemption 2, The Menu, The West, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Matt is the co-author of John Hartford’s Mammoth Collection of Fiddle Tunes, and his compositions span film, television, and concert music.”
