Scott Matthews
+ support: Will Knox
Melancholieke folky songs met een vleugje elektronica
English singer-songwriter, often compared to legends such as Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley
De muziek van Engelse singer-songwriter Scott Matthews is doordrenkt met melancholiek. Zijn folky songs roepen herinneringen op aan die van grote namen als Nick Drake, Richard Thompson, John Martyn, Jeff Buckley en Rufus Wainwright.
Matthews deelde het podium met onder anderen Rufus Wainwright, Foo Fighters, Snow Patrol en Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant. De samenwerking met Plant leidde tot het in 2009 verschenen studioalbum Elsewhere. In 2020 verscheen New Skin, waarop Matthews zijn akoestische sound verrijkt met elektronische invloeden. Op dinsdag 7 juni presenteert hij zijn nieuwe songs in De Oosterpoort: “It will be one man and a guitar with a wave of electronics washing over me!”
