“He truly is Austin timelessness personified,” says Taylor Wallace-Riegel, KUTX. Texas songwriter and Americana artist Matthew Payne grew up in the beautiful hill country surrounding Dripping Springs, and loved every minute of his two decades as an educator of English and Creative Writing in Austin public schools.
