Despite his youthful years, the music of River Matthews flows from a uniquely timeless place. His distinctive voice, reminiscent of artists like Jeff Buckley and Sixto ‘Sugarman’ Rodriguez, creaks and rasps with wisdom and experience. His patient, personal blend of soul and folk effortlessly transcends eras and genres.
Produced by Jamie Scott (Michael Kiwanuka, One Direction, Ron Sexsmith, Jessie Ware) and Luke Potashnick (Temperance Movement, Gabrielle Aplin), River’s debut EP deals with themes of new beginnings, honesty, love and loss.
