New York, NY – 5th April 2024 – Nashville-based, Oregon-born multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and producer Mat Kearney conjures warm indie folk on new single “Sumac” –– listen HERE. The song is the latest stunning track to drop ahead of Kearney’s forthcoming new self-titled full-length studio album due out May 15th via Middle Kid Records. “Sumac” was written by Kearney and The Brook and the Bluff’s Joseph Settine, it was produced and engineered by Kearney and mixed by longtime collaborator and multi-platinum award winning mixer Robert Marvin (Kelly ClarksonJulia MichaelsBen Rector).

“Sumac” is the fourth single to precede the new album, which will be Kearney’s first LP in more than three years.
