Uncle Kracker—born Matthew Shafer- spent over two decades crafting feel-good music blending country, pop, rock, and a touch of hip-hop. Known for his breezy, laid-back style, his songs are perfect for unwinding & escaping the daily grind.
He first gained attention as part of Kid Rock’s Twisted Brown Trucker Band. His 2000 solo debut Double Wide launched him into the spotlight, reaching #7 on Billboards 200 and earned double-platinum status. His 2002 follow-up No Stranger To Shame went gold & delivered more favorites.
Uncle Kracker scored #1 hits on Pop, Adult Contemporary, and Country charts. His breakthrough single “Follow Me” went platinum and topped charts in four countries. His duet w/ Kenny Chesney, “When The Sun Goes Down,” hit #1 on Billboard & went double-platinum.
A standout moment came with his cover of Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away,” which stayed #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart for 28 weeks—a Billboard record. Another smash, “Smile,” went triple-platinum and featured in The Office and Live With Regis & Kelly.
In 2012, he dropped the country-leaning Midnight Special, followed by fan favorites like “Endlessly,” “Floatin’,”& “No Time To Be Sober.” Now he’s back with Coffee & Beer, featuring new tracks like “Beach Chair,” “Reason To Drink,” and “Sweet 16.” Uncle Kracker keeps the good times rolling – helping people relax, smile, and soak up the moment.
