The Wolverhampton troubadour released his last record, The Great Untold, in 2018. However, he has been writing new songs and fans can look forward to a preview soon.

Matthews will be back on the road in May after a relatively quiet 2019 which he spent writing new songs.

He will preview those during a six-date UK tour of churches and unusual theatres. The tour will start on May 14 at The Marine Theatre, in Lyme Regis, before heading to the Minack Theatre, in Cornwall; Kingskerswell Parish Church, in Devon; Holy Trinity Church, in Guidford; St Mary’s Church, in Chester and St John’s Church, in Cardiff.

Details about his new record and any more dates to be added to the tour will be announced in due course, the musician says.

Matthews made his breakthrough in 2006 when his debut album, Passing Stranger, became a hit. He toured with Foo Fighters, became a BBC Radio darling and won an Ivor Novello Award for the single Elusive.

Since then, he has released six studio albums, with a new record every two or three years. Most recently, he wrote Home Part I, Home Part 2 and the 2018 record The Great Untold.
