Bill Eberle Reveals Heartfelt 'Same Old Town', 'Matter & Time' Out 7/8

Equal parts folk songwriter and roots rocker, Bill Eberle makes forward-thinking music that nods to the past while still pushing ahead. It's a folk record that pays tribute to the genre's traditions while moving into new territory. The journey to finding his sound began in Pittsburgh, where Eberle was born to a union family. Later, he logged several years in Brooklyn before pulling up stakes and moving to Nashville, where he's since established himself as a welcome alternative to the city's country music scene.

If you're a seeker of truth and a lover of hypnotic fingerpicked guitar melodies, look no further than "Mean Mama Blues". The same can be said for the emotion in Eberle's voice singing his autobiographical single Same Old Town, which resonates with the earnest honesty and sweet songwriting that his album uses as its cornerstone. There's plenty of country-friend stomp on Matter & Time, and the album broadens Eberle's reach, touching on everything from the observational folk of "Ashes (Trayvon Martin Blues)" to the rowdy, roadhouse rock of his new single, "Too Late to Take it Back."
