Biography:
MUSIC HAS BEEN A PART OF RISING STAR MATT KENNON'S LIFE FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN REMEMBER...
“The first record I played was the Eagles’ The Long Run,” he recalls. “I was three or four years old. It wasn’t so much about the words, it was about the feel of the music.”
The words did come though, and when they did they came in spades. Matt’s personal, yet universally accessible, songwriting is part of what defines him.
At the age of seven, Matt’s parents took him to see ‘80s rock group Survivor.

G Em
The home of the blues is where I live
C Em D
Trapped in- side these lonely walls that don't forgive
G Em
Surrounded by a memory
C Em D
Her goodbye haunts me like a Beale Street melody
C D
And I've done everything, but get down on my knees
C Em Am D
And if my tears will set, this ghost inside me free
[Chorus]
G Em
I'm gonna cry like Memphis, I'm goin' three times under
Am D
Gonna drown my sorrows with tears that roll like thunder
G Em
'Til I can find the strength, 'til I can carry on
Am B C D G
I'm gonna cry like Memphis, when they heard the King was gone
[Verse]
G Em
Love me tender cuts through the dark
C Em D
Comin' from an open window of a passing car
G Em
And in that moment, oh, I believe
C Em D
That I can almost feel your body next to me
C D
But one heart beatin' slowly brings me back around
C Em Am D
I know you're gone and I know when I break- down
[Chorus]
G Em
I'm gonna cry like Memphis, I'm goin' three times under
Am D
Gonna drown my sorrows with tears that roll like thunder
G Em
'Til I can find the strength, 'til I can carry on
Am BC D G
I'm gonna cry like Memphis, when they heard the King was gone
