Matthew Crampsey is a rising singer-songwriter blending heartfelt storytelling with
the soul of country music.
Born and raised in Donegal, Ireland, Matthew grew up
surrounded by the rich musical traditions of his hometown. With music playing a big
part in family life, it wasn’t long before he picked up a guitar and started writing
songs of his own.
He first came to wider attention as a founding member of Ceol, the acclaimed Irish
folk band known for bringing fresh energy to traditional tunes. With Ceol, Matthew
built a loyal following and honed his craft as a live performer, earning a reputation
for raw, emotive vocals and a natural connection with audiences. But it was
songwriting that always pulled him forward. The desire to tell his own stories in his
own way soon became the focus.
In 2024, Matthew made the move to go solo. His sound brings together the intimacy
of acoustic folk with the warmth and grit of country music, shaped by influences like
