Matt Gorman

Pairing a voice all his own with heartland edge and hard-won storytelling, Matt Gorman is a country singer-songwriter who's instantly familiar, impossible to forget. A South Philadelphia native and former college pitcher who traded the diamond for Music Row, Gorman makes high-contrast country that refuses the easy middle: light and dark, grit and grace, all in the same breath. His songs trade in scars as proof, the work of a man farther down the path than he started. Sonically he lands where Kip Moore's blue-collar soul meets Eric Church's storytelling mystique, with the introspective pull of a StephenWilson Jr., real amps, real air, hooks that live in your head, and a rasp that sticks with you. Already a co-writer on "Comin' in Cold" — the song that titled Bailey Zimmerman's chart topper Different Night Same Rodeo and named his 2026 arena tour — Gorman now steps out as an artist with By Design Music, writing for the ones who feel everything.
