Twinstone Hats x Matt Daniel | Texas Country Cowboy Hat

The Artist: A Voice of the Texas Country Music Scene

Matt Daniel is a Texas country music artist whose journey is built on authenticity, storytelling, and a deep-rooted connection to the Western lifestyle. A touring artist from West Texas, he has made a name for himself in the industry, opening for legendary acts such as Gary P. Nunn, The Wilder Blue, and Joe Nichols.

Since his debut album All I'll Ever Need in 2022, Daniel’s music has resonated with nationwide audiences, generating over a million streams and receiving widespread radio play. His single Keepin’ Me Alive reached #1 on the Texas Regional Radio charts, further cementing his place in the Texas country music scene. With his latest album, produced by Banjo Ben Clark, now released, Daniel continues to capture the spirit of country music with his signature sound and heartfelt lyrics.

"Always Trust Your Cape" is a motto Matt Daniel lives by. Inspired by the idea of taking risks, believing in yourself, and pushing forward no matter the odds, this motto reflects the essence of his journey. It is not just a phrase; it is a mindset—a reminder that, whether on stage, on the road, or in everyday life, trusting in yourself is the key to forging your path.

The Guitar That’s Been Everywhere

Every musician has that one instrument that becomes part of their story. For Matt, it’s a guitar with a history as rich as the songs it plays.

"I approached a guy about it, and he told me, ‘My grandpa bought it back in ’69, and I’ve had it ever since. It just sat on my wall. I got a new one, and my wife said I needed to get rid of some guitars, so I figured I’d just let that one go.’ He brought it out, and I played one chord on it, put it back in the case, and said, ‘Here’s your money.’ It’s been with me ever since—just about every show, every song on the road."

This guitar isn’t just an instrument—it’s a companion on the journey, much like a trusted cowboy hat that weathers every stage of the ride.
