A GREEN MAN: “If you enjoy creative independent folk music at all, you owe it to yourself to check out The Grief We Gave Our Mother.”

AMERICAN SONGWRITER: “The Grief We Gave Our Mother, carries self-defining moments of the past that will give listeners a tinge of déjà vu. Each track is beautifully relatable and, occasionally, heartbreakingly familiar.”

AMERICAN SONGWRITER: “Matthew Fowler still plays the same Yamaha FX-335 acoustic guitar his parents gave him at the age of 14. Which is not so remarkable, when you take into account that that was only five years ago. At 19 years old, Fowler shows the same mastery of earnest, strummy songcraft as established artists like Damien Rice and Ben Howard.”

AMERICANA HIGHWAYS: Interview for “The Grief We Gave Our Mother”

ASSOCIATED PRESS: “The bright promise of singer-songwriter Matthew Fowler’s label debut lies in its acoustic elegance. His new album, “The Grief We Gave Our Mother,” combines clean, crisp guitar playing with Fowler’s warm, wistful tenor and tight background harmonies to deliver well-crafted songs that change speeds and create moods with the sure-footedness of a more seasoned artist.”

AUDIOTREE SESSION: "Matthew Fowler is a young singer songwriter who prefers slow food and coffee to go with his laid-back, intimate tunes. He has proven that a strong command of language breaks through the barrier of age."
