He plans to bring that program to College Baseball by integrating his Hometown House Party Tour with teams he’s connected to this fall. He incorporates his music by singing the National Anthem at the games and clinics. To date they have partnered with 14 MLB teams to host Badges For Baseball Clinics that Stillwell helps run. Matt is the ambassador for the Cal Ripken Sr Foundation’s “Badges For Baseball” program which places at risk youth with law enforcement. He has been featured on CBS This Morning, Fox & Friends, and Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Matt has worked with major brands like Budweiser, Ole Smoky Moonshine, Flinkin, Morton Buildings, and Hunt Brothers Pizza. He had a trailer built that serves as his stage and merchandise booth, and by the end of 2021, he will have played 200 shows since he began the Hometown House Party Tour. This began as the marketing around his song, “Everybody’s Got A Hometown”, but when Covid19 shut the world down, it became his new way of touring. In 2019, Matt stripped everything down to just him and his guitar, and set out on his Hometown House Party Tour. “Hey Dad (2021)” just reached #37 on the Billboard Indicator Chart. He recorded a new stripped down version of the song and released it to radio this year. Stillwell’s most current release, “Hey Dad”, written as a tribute to his late father, has over 1,000,000 streams and over 30,000,000 collective views of the video. The first single “Ignition” from his album "Right On Time" reached TOP #50 on the Billboard Hot Country Chart. The album went on to produce another Top 50 Billboard single in “Sweet Sun Angel” and two more top videos on CMT Pure with “Dirt Road Dancing” and “Sweet Sun Angel”. The accompanying music video reached #5 on CMT Pure while breaking into the Top 10 on GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown. Matt’s debut single “Shine” debuted at #25 on iTunes Country Chart, reached the TOP #50 on Billboard’s Country Charts. Matt and his wife, Lindsey, live in Knoxville, TN with their two beautiful daughters, Carolina and Ruby. Baseball turned into music and he has since been traveling across the country heading his own shows and opening for most of today’s country superstars. He played baseball at Western Carolina University where he was an All Conference player on the Catamount’s Southern Conference Championship Baseball team.
Matt Stillwell was born in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in Sylva, North Carolina.
