Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis, two gifted singers, guitarists, and songwriters teamed up to create Striking Matches, a Nashville-based duo whose music has been described as, “that sweet spot at the intersection of country, rock, and blues,” (Sports Illustrated). You’ll recognize their songs from your favorite TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy, American Idol, Monday Night Football, and Nashville, which featured eight of the band’s songs. The duo’s first full-length album, Nothing But the Silence, was produced by T-Bone Burnett and their most-recent effort, a bluesy five-song EP, Morning, was released in May 2019.
