Logan Metz

Logan Metz is a musician, educator and raconteur based in Wisconsin. His songwriting spans many genres, from jazz and rock to folk and country, but it’s all marked by artful chord changes, a character-centric narrative style, and a wry lyrical wit rooted firmly in the Tom Waits/ Randy Newman school of piano-based storytelling.
