We are glad to have Matt Felts as the tenor for the Dixie Melody Boys. Matt has emerged as one of Southern Gospels top tenors. He has brought much to the group and has played a vital role since the day he joined the group. While Matt has already made a huge impact in Gospel music, his background before his musical career included a sucessful career in Marketing as well a short stint in Professional Baseball. Matt owns Southern Gospels premier marketing company, Beyond Measure Marketing. He works with many top groups to advance their ministry. He has brought this skill with him and has impacted the group with it in many ways. Matt lives with his wife Jennifer and daughter Abigail in Murfreesboro, TN. Night after night Matt touches lives with his testimony and incredible voice. Here are some things you may not know about Matt.

Favorite Dixie Melody Boys Story: We were singing in Virginia. When we arrived at the church, the door was locked. When we pulled on the door the alarm went off. After 20 minutes, the police showed up. I had to convince them that we weren't burglars. Luckily our poster was on the door.
