Scott Matthews
Scott has garnered serious critical acclaim across his ten-year career and has taken this time to nurture his craft. He was always deliberate in his actions- witnessed in the time he originally spent as a guitarist, before becoming the singer songwriter behind the ground-breaking debut album Passing Stranger. Subsequently, Robert Plant came onboard for a guest contribution on Scotts follow-up album, Elsewhere, and down the line legendary double bassist Danny Thompson joined on Scotts third release What The Night Delivers, having encountered each other whilst performing in Joe Boyds stage production of Way to Blue – The Songs of Nick Drake.
Scott keeps moving on and exploring to bring forth gems of songs that seem to gestate over time and then “arrive” as if he was a conduit to some magical power. His vocal style has been much referenced in ethereal terms of "ghostly", "haunting", "eerie" and "hypnotic", so perhaps there is magic afoot.
Among the reoccurring constants in his world are “home” and what it means to everyone. The imposing six-foot four, Black Country, somewhat reclusive icon has become increasingly aware of why his roots remain firmly planted in the Midlands. As all great artists he seems to live somewhere between the real world and the blessed outer circle of day to day.
Scott’s latest album ‘Home2’ is acontrasting companion to his much praised 2014 break out record Home Part 1, the new album finds Matthews in many senses returning to the source, driven by what he describes as A need to rekindle a relationship with artist I was 10 years ago, but joining forces with the artist I am today.
