The process of having your songs recorded and turned into hits by someone else can be validating, even empowering, but the urge to step out from behind the pen and paper and feel the heat of the stage lights for yourself is undeniable. Jason Matthews has arrived on stage, front and center.<\/p><p>The man that co-wrote Billy Currington\u2019s No. 1 smash hit, \u201cMust Be Doin\u2019 Somethin\u2019 Right,\u201d knows that nagging feeling. \u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong, I love it when other people record my music,\u201d Jason says, \u201cbut the opportunity to try it in front of people with nobody in between is pretty awesome. For me, it\u2019s really a continuation of the creative process. I just want the opportunity to be heard myself.\u201d<\/p><p>Even before the No. 1 single that earned him Music Row\u2019s 2006 Breakthrough Writer of the Year, Jason was building an impressive catalog of hits, including cuts for Luke Bryan (\u201cCountry Man\u201d), Julie Roberts and Trace Adkins (\u201cBreak Down Here\u201d), Kevin Denney (\u201cThat\u2019s Just Jesse\u201d), Tammy Cochran (\u201cLife Happened\u201d), and James Otto (\u201cThe Ball\u201d), among others. But Jason\u2019s reputation as just a songwriter is set to change with the recent release of his debut album, \u201cHicotine.\u201d<\/p><p>Aside from his proven skill as a songwriter, the other quality that separates Jason from many of his peers is his voice. A genuine soul singer by definition, Jason has just enough twang and attitude to disguise the fact that Motown and the British Invasion had just as much influence on his musical upbringing as Music City did.<\/p><p>Article\/Bio\u00a0 Credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/sandyleesongfest.com\/\" rel=\"home\">SANDY LEE WATKINS SONGWRITERS FESTIVAL<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The life of a Nashville songwriter can be a bittersweet journey.
