‪@medicinalmediaorg‬ partnered with the ‪@HiHowAreYouProject‬ backstage at #ACLFest 2023. The Hi, How Are You Project is an Austin, TX-based nonprofit organization with a mission to remove the stigma around mental health, one conversation at a time.
Matt Maltese is a British-Canadian singer-songwriter. His style blends elements from indie pop, indie rock, and chamber pop. Since his debut single "Even If It's a Lie" in 2015, Maltese has released four studio albums and four EPs. Matt's fans wanted him to return to ACL in 2023, so with support from his friends - and the steadfast knowledge that life's lulls, no matter how terrible, always pass - he was more than up to the challenge.
