Scott Matthews brings his mix of folk, rock, blues and Eastern-inspired song-writing to the Nightingale Stage.

His latest album is arguably his boldest move yet, New Skin swathed in Eno-esque electronica and Thom Yorke-centric uncovering, channelled the driving energy of ‘80s Springsteen and was widely lauded by Robert Plant, Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien, Bella Union’s Simon Raymonde and BBC 6Music.

Matthews had never sounded so vital. Never sounded so fresh. Never sounded so energised. And never sounded so good. 

“A big favourite of ours…just gorgeous” – Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music
