Matt Stell's Mini Concert answered our prayers! He performed Everywhere But On and Prayed For You  while also sharing what he's been up to during quarantine. Find out more and which song is one of his favorites he's ever written.

Matt's been staying busy with writing songs and keeping up with friends and family virtually. "I've also found it's always good for me all the way around if I can find time to break a sweat in a day."

Everywhere But On  is one of Matt's favorite songs he's ever written because he's lived a lot of what the song talks about. "One of my favorite lines of the song is the start of the second verse, where it talks about mail going to my mama's house."

Matt and his band almost have a new record finished and they've loved playing the new songs live. "It's so much fun to get the band together and play new music and that energy we have."

Prayed For You  changed Matt's whole life. It can relate to relationships, jobs, getting through school, or family. "This song is about persevering long enough to allow good things a chance to happen."
