Reckless Son, the nationally acclaimed solo show written and performed by singer-songwriter Matt Butler, was inspired by his journey performing over 100 concerts in jails and prisons across the country. As heard on NPR Morning Edition and featured in SPIN's Album of the Year list, Reckless Son sheds light on the stories of people who have experienced incarceration.

Through a powerful combination of spoken word and song, the performance turns a compassionate eye to their lives before, during and after their time behind prison walls and evokes empathy and understanding for those who are all too often considered out of sight and out of mind. It's a story of hope, forgiveness, and what it means to discover a deeper sense of purpose through service to others. Raising awareness, shifting perspectives, and empowering individuals to create change within their communities, Reckless Son is more than just a show, it's a calling.
