Scott Matthews
If there's one quality that defines the career of Wolverhampton folk rocker Scott Matthews it's this: evolution. The singer/songwriter has challenged himself creatively during a career that has been characterised by rare quality as he finds different ways to cast a spell.
Introspective and reflective, combining blues and folk, mixing the ethereal with the empyrean, Matthews is a musical alchemist who transforms base metal to gold.
The Ivor Novello-winning artist is part of a lineage that includes such greats as Buckley and Drake, John Martyn and Paul Simon.
With guitar in hand and a voice that conveys raw emotion, he has long been established as one of the world's foremost purveyors of song.
Having broken through with the much-loved Passing Stranger and more recently mastered the delicate art of one-man-and-a-guitar music with sparse musicianship and an otherworldly falsetto, through the records Home Pt I, Home Pt II and The Great Untold, Matthews is travelling along new roads.
