• Having just completed a year of music study in Spain, singer-songwriter Genna Matthew returns to the tropics of Free Union. She’ll be entertaining all with her Indie Pop-Rock sounds, live inside the glass conservatory from 3 to 5:30pm.
  
• Singer-songwriter Genna Matthew’s indie folk-pop sound is both timeless and current, blending pure, sweet vocals with lyrics that strike a chord. She grew up in the lush music community of Charlottesville, Virginia, and was influenced from a young age by the sounds of the area’s Folk and Americana scene.
  Genna’s bittersweet writing sugarcoats wistful lyrics with layers of honeyed vocals and warm harmonies. Her latest EP, ‘My Old Habits’, released in 2016, features prominent instrumentalists including Johnny Stubblefield (Parachute), Sam Wilson (Sons of Bill), Chris Pandolfi (Infamous Stringdusters), Butch Taylor (Dave Matthews Band), and Matt Wood (Erin and the Wildfire).
  In 2018 she traded the Blue Ridge Mountains for the Spanish coast, where she is currently pursuing her Masters in contemporary music performance at Berklee College of Music’s Valencia campus. These travels have inspired her next EP, which features many of the talented artists she has met abroad, and will be released in 2020. ~~~~~
