Meet the Thorntons
You’ll find the music of Mathew and Sherri Thornton to possess a rare and enchanting quality. Precise and creative harmonies. Thoughtful messages with lyrical depth. Exciting musicianship.
The couple explore a brand of progressive Americana that harkens back to the creative folk music scene of the 60s, but with a modern flair for expansive harmony and rolling rhythms.
Sherri is a gifted singer. She had a solo run as a Contemporary Christian artist before becoming a first call studio singer, with years of experience as a jingle singer and vocal producer. She was also a radio personality (both morning drive and financial talk show) in Indianapolis. In addition to music, Sherri is a professional grant writer, having secured millions of dollars in support of non-profit organizations including Habitat For Humanity and many others.
Mathew is a career musician, most notably in commercial and film music. He ran a jingle studio in Chicago for 25 years, writing and producing work for major clients like Kelloggs, General Mills, McDonalds, Ford Motor Company, Gatorade and many more. He is an accomplished session guitarist with credits on a host of albums. His solo work as a songwriter has garnered over 100,000 streams on Spotify from listeners all over the world.
As fate would have it, Mathew and Sherri did not meet until 2017, yet their paths had crossed many times in the previous decades, with ‘near misses’ at studios and over commercial music projects. They finally met, then married in 2019, and began performing together in 2025, writing new original music and carving out their own unique and engaging sound.
