"DRIVING MAN"

The "Driving Man" Contest

Hi! My name is Matt Sanderlin - I'm a musician based in Nashville, TN. I play multiple instruments and produce my own music. To help me pursue my dream of being a full-time artist, I drive for rideshare apps during the day (like Uber, Lyft). I have an upcoming song called "Driving Man" - an acoustic, narrative-driven song chronicling a relationship unfolding, and have decided to do an unusual pre-save giveaway. The winner will have the opportunity to have me as their personal driver, at no cost to them, for one full day!
