MATTHEW AND THE ATLAS

Temple 10th Anniversary Tour Matthew and the Atlas is the musical project of British singer-songwriter Matt Hegarty. Over the past fifteen years, he has released seven albums and moved effortlessly between different styles: from pure acoustic folk to electronic synths and solid, guitar-driven alt-rock. He has toured extensively through the Verenigd Koninkrijk, Europe, and the US, including with Mumford & Sons, Bear’s Den, and The Civil Wars. Q Magazine described him along the way as the “British Bon Iver”. Temple was recorded in Nashville in 2015, with production duo Foreign Fields behind the buttons, and released in April 2016. The album features crowd favorite Elijah, among others. Later that year, Hegarty dove back into the studio, together with his band and producer Ian Grimble. They reworked the songs, this time with a special acoustic lineup of guitar, harp, clarinet, banjo, piano, and double bass, among others. Temple Unplugged was released in December 2016 and unexpectedly quickly found its audience. Over the years, it grew into the record fans ask for most often during concerts. This autumn Hegarty is heading out on tour again, as a trio with his regular musical partners Emma Gatrill and Alex Roberts. Together they celebrate the tenth anniversary of both albums. Expect a special concert in which Temple Unplugged is performed in its entirety, from beginning to end, in the intimate atmosphere in which the record was originally created. In addition, favorite songs from the rest of the Matthew and the Atlas repertoire will also pass in review. support: AK Patterson AK Patterson makes dark, atmospheric songs full of strong stories, somewhere between chamber pop, folk, and 90s melancholy. With her warm voice and quirky guitar playing, she completely fits the intimate atmosphere of Matthew And the Atlas. A nice opener for an evening full of strong songs and melancholy.
