Greenwood Events presents... singer-songwriter Scott Matthews for the tour of his critically acclaimed album 'Restless Lullabies.' Another beautiful piece of workit feels timelessexisting outside any genre, which is a beautiful thing absolutely wonderful Ed OBrien, Radiohead (on Restless Lullabies), 2023 And here in a break from these dark timesa moment to move through Scotts unique landscape of song and soundcompelling and beautiful Robert Plant (on Restless Lullabies), 2023 No artist I know combines such evocative melodies, poignant lyrics and a truly angelic voice the way Scott does. He is a unique, beautiful singer and composer who floors me any time I listen to him Im always amazed by his latest work and Restless Lullabies is no exception. He never repeats himself Guy Pearce, 2023 The best feeling is when I can lose myself in the music, this couldnt be more true for this album, filled with beauty and depth. Simplicity in its greatest form Lucy Rose (on Restless Lullabies), 2023 Scott Matthews ground-breaking debut album, Passing Stranger earned him serious critical acclaim with its bold mix of folk, rock, blues and Eastern-inspired song-writing, and in 2007 his first single Elusive won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. From here Scott went on to perform on a number of international sell-out tours with respected artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Bert Jansch, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Foo Fighters, Snow Patrol and Tori Amos. His follow-up albums saw, Robert Plant come onboard for a guest contribution on second album, Elsewhere, and legendary bassist Danny Thompson appearing on his 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. Championed by Lauren Laverne as a big favourite and Huey Morgan as being something else, Scotts musical dexterity and experimentative approach to song-writing and home-recording continued to excite over the course of the next several albums released on his own label, from the intrinsically poetic, organic nature of The Great Untold, to the daring and audacious New Skin. This album was 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, Radioheads Ed OBrien, Bella Unions Simon Raymonde and BBC 6Music. It was rock and ambient, acoustic and electro. Matthews had never sounded so vital. Never sounded so fresh. Never sounded so energised. And never sounded so good. But this story is not over yet and the Ivor Novello award-winner is not afraid to evolve once more. From within this freshly paved electronic landscape, Matthews latest album, Restless Lullabies, emerges with a stark boldness that is breath taking. These phoenix songs, born from New Skin, have more to give, worthy of reincarnation, entirely reimagined by Matthews who appears dauntless, they are restless with good reason. Now entirely unadorned, stripped of their electronic veil, the albums acoustic purity creates a subliminal listening experience. From the ethereal acapella, Intruders on Earth, to the evocative duet, Anniversary, where Matthews performs with American soul-jazz singer, Krystle Warren, the result being a vocal fusion that seems impossibly perfect. The skeletal delicacy of the songs allows his poetry to breathe, his transcendent vocal to soar, brings his dexterously sensitive guitar playing into microscopic focus and further cements his undeniable mastery as one of our greatest songsmiths. Restless Lullabies is the Yin to New Skins Yang, so obviously interconnected and yet somehow possessing an entirely different force. Here, once again, Scott Matthews has given us a portal to his very core. Click HERE to watch video [https://youtu.be/0OnDWrVoaJI?feature=shared] Fully stocked bar available with Friday Beer on draft
