Matt Lovell's Gunshot Recovery Fund

On Friday January 20th, Matt spent the day songwriting with a dear friend.  He was leaving East Nashville just before 8pm, and a stranger approached him in his car with a gun.  Matt got out, and was shot directly in the chest by the carjacker.  He was alone, and found the strength to walk a block into the nearest bar to ask for help.  He was taken to Vanderbilt and had surgery to address internal damage.  The doctors were quite amazed that the bullet did not hit his heart or puncture his lung.  His injuries are still being monitored at Vandy and he cannot yet have visitors.  But he is doing well, and is so grateful to be alive. 

It will likely take months before Matt is fully recovered and able to work (and make music!) again.  Matt does not have health insurance, and medical bills and costs associated with his recovery will surely be overwhelming.  Please use this page to donate and share it online among your circles. 

Thank you, kind friends- Matt is so grateful for his family, community of friends and musicians, and can't wait to be back on his feet and singing his songs for you.
