Matthew Bell & The Next of Kin - Hear the Sunrise (2019) Hi Res

Proud to introduce the North Texas-based band, Matthew Bell & The Next of Kin. With a name like that, it’s no surprise that this quintet is a family endeavor. But unlike bands bonded by DNA, these players are joined in matrimony: lead singer/songwriter Matthew Bell is married to drummer Jarod Schmitt’s sister, and violinist Daren Denniston is married to Bell’s sister. Together with lead guitarist Ben Dobberstein and bassist Cameron Crowley, they wed lyrical depth with R&B grooves and tight, pop-informed harmonies to create a sound Bell labels “folk-soul.”
