Scott Matthews
Friday 30th May 2025
Malvern Cube, Worcestershire, WR14 2YF
Worcestershire is in for a truly special night as Scott Matthews brings his rich tapestry of songcraft to the intimate surrounds of Malvern Cube this May. A master of reinvention and sonic nuance, Matthews has long carved his own distinctive path through the British musical landscape — and his latest tour promises to be no exception.
First thrust into the spotlight with his 2006 debut Passing Stranger, Matthews earned immediate critical acclaim and an Ivor Novello Award for the haunting single Elusive. Since then, he’s shared stages with the likes of Rufus Wainwright, Robert Plant, Tori Amos and Snow Patrol, steadily cementing his place as one of the UK’s most compelling and unpredictable songwriters.
Across a back catalogue spanning the raw acoustic textures of The Great Untold to the immersive electronica of New Skin, Matthews has proven time and again that he is not content to stand still. His ability to shift from blues-infused folk to ambient rock with elegance and emotional heft has seen him hailed by Lauren Laverne, Huey Morgan and even Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien.
This tour showcases Restless Lullabies — Matthews’ latest and arguably most intimate work to date. Stripped of the electronic grandeur that defined New Skin, this new collection reimagines its predecessor with an acoustic purity that highlights Matthews’ unmistakable voice, lyrical flair, and astonishing guitar work. Featuring the stunning acapella Intruders on Earth and a spellbinding duet with Krystle Warren on Anniversary, these songs offer a deep, almost spiritual listening experience.
Whether you’re a long-time follower or new to his music, this performance offers a rare chance to witness an artist at the height of his powers, delivering songs that are at once tender, transformative and timeless.
Tickets are expected to move quickly — don’t miss the opportunity to see one of Britain’s most gifted songsmiths in such an intimate setting.
