Matt Maeson's introduction to the stage was far from ordinary. The singer/songwriter toured with his parents, playing Christian heavy metal and performing at prisons across the U.S. While he would stray far from his roots for his own solo career, that experience helped shape his high-powered performance style. After his first U.S. headlining tour, Maeson landed coveted slots at festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. In 2019, he continued to spend most of his days on the road, for the Bank on the Funeral Tour and The Day You Departed Tour, both in support of his debut album. That same year, he even got a chance to sing on stage with one of his favorite artists, Lana Del Rey.
~~~~~~~~
There's a rare directness to Matt's music: he sings like the dead singer-songwriters, full of troubled and tensile grace. His sound is spare and rich and restless. Vines of guitar weave around his voice; half-remembered melodies drift overhead like ghosts. "Cringe," his debut single, feels like canon, as profound and arresting as Jeff Buckley or King Krule; it's got the stark, urgent intimacy of a spotlight trained on a pair of sinners in the dark.
As with all of Matt's music, it asks the same questions his life has-about desperation, redemption, and love. The extraordinary Who Killed Matt Maeson EP is available now via Neon Gold/Atlantic Records.
