Listen to a Matt Hillyer album, or catch one of his shows, and you’ll hear an artist in his element, pushing a lifetime of musical influences to the limit yet always sounding authentically like himself. “I’ve always tried to mix up styles that I love,” says Hillyer, the veteran singer-songwriter whose latest record, Bright Skyline, showcases a range fine-tuned over three decades playing Texas dance halls and listening rooms.
If Hillyer’s voice sounds familiar, it should. For 23 years, he fronted legendary honky-tonk band Eleven Hundred Springs, touring the world and releasing more than a dozen albums before the band ended in 2021. But, Hillyer's career predates Eleven Hundred Springs.
He honed his chops in the rockabilly outfit Lone Star Trio, and even a rock band, Strap, hitting the stages of Dallas' venerable Deep Ellum neighborhood throughout the '90s. In 2014 he released his solo debut album If These Old Bones Could Talk. Eleven Hundred Springs may have set the standard for swingin’ Texas country outfits, but Hillyer always had more to offer — which Bright Skyline highlights time and again.
