Nashville, TN (March 6, 2020) – Indie-Pop singer/songwriter Matthew McCloskey recently released his new EP, “The Road Out of Nowhere.” You can listen to the album HERE!

Featuring five original songs, The Road Out of Nowhere moves from a contemplative and peaceful stroll alongside a river to hurtling through an emergency room at breakneck speed. Recorded in partnership with Peter Fox from Stone House Recordings, the songs feature a unique blend of emotive string and choral arrangements juxtaposed with driving drum patterns and gripping vocals.

“This album is a story of despair and redemption,” Matthew explains. “…a walk down into the darkest corners of the soul – and the courage it takes to climb out.”
