About Me


Matt Duke’s Rykodisc debut album “Kingdom Underground” is due for release on August 26, and nothing but great things are expected from this promising South Jersey native. At just 23 years old, Matt Duke penned “Kingdom Underground” with a delightfully sweet and bitter confection of instantly gratifying tunes, smartly written with a wise-beyond-his-years introspect.

For fans of Josh Ritter, M. Ward, Cary Brothers, Damien Rice, Kevin Devine and Tegan and Sara, Matt Duke’s sound remains fresh throughout and full of earnest, youthful exuberance. His debut album, “Winter Child,” was released through Drexel University's student-run record label, MAD Dragon Records on September 12, 2006 and was co-produced by big talents Stewart Lerman (Loudon Wainwright, Dar Williams) and Steuart Smith (The Eagles, Shawn Colvin).
Matt has already received astounding support from WXPN radio, performing frequently at World Café Live and at several WXPN sponsored events throughout the Philadelphia area. Stay tuned for more Matt Duke in the coming weeks and months leading up to the release of “Kingdom Underground” on August 26th!
