Hey everybody,

I'm a Singer/Songwriter based in Nashville, though originally from CT and having lived in NYC for much time.

Sometimes I travel with my fiancée and favorite human, Katie :-) We also live together. In my request, I'll let you know if it's just me or the both of us.

If you want to check out my music, you can visit www.mattbednarsky.com or search "Matt Bednarsky" on Spotify or YouTube

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spend much of my life on the road touring, and from time to time find myself in need of a couch.

I want to have a story-filled life; meeting all sorts of people is conducive to that.
