A bell might not ring in your head when you hear the name Mat Kearney, but the singer-songwriter has more than a few songs that you'll surely recognize. His tracks "Nothing Left to Lose," "Ships in the Night," and "Undeniable" are contemporary radio staples, and he's been featured on shows like "Grey's Anatomy," "Scrubs," and "Friday Night Lights." His instrumentations are on the simpler side since he's really just a chord strummer, but the vocals are quite impressive, as he boasts a voice similar to Chris Martin of Coldplay. He can also rap pretty well too, and he does so in quite a few songs.

Mat Kearney performs with The Script, Oh Honey, and Amanda Lee Peers on Sunday, December 14, at The Main Street Armory, 900 East Main Street. 7 p.m. $25-$35. Mainstreetarmory.com; matkearney.com.
