Matt Keating has established a distinctive sound that splits the difference between folk-rock and power pop, and favored words and music over angst and posture. While Keating's music is often labeled Americana, it is in fact inspired by a broad range of influences; traditional country, old school punk and classic songwriters. His persona has always leaned decidedly more towards the vulnerable everyman than the coolly affected and often emotionally distant rock icon.
