“This River’s No River for Me” – from Transmutations

Hailing from the rust belts of Wisconsin, Matthew DeChant is a modern musician on the cutting edge of the current traditional folk/roots renaissance. Taking inspiration from modern trad-folk giants such as Lankum and Rhiannon Giddens, as well as genre-benders like the Dreadnoughts and Gogol Bordello, DeChant takes originals and traditional songs from all over North America and Europe and interprets them in his own high-energy alternative style.
