Iain Matthews first gained attention as a founding member and vocalist for the innovative Fairport Convention’s first three albums, changing the voice of folk music in his country. He moved on to create Matthews’ Southern Comfort, exploring his interest in American music.
They had a No 1 hit in the UK with Joni Mitchell’s ‘Woodstock’. Almost 50 years after Matthews Southern Comfort returns with a brand new album ‘Like A Radio’. The current Matthews Southern Comfort, a quartet, features an all Dutch lineup. Besides Matthews himself there's guitarist and songwriter BJ Baartmans, keyboardist Bart de Win and in 2017 songwriter Eric Devries. This spectacular band, represents both the past and the present, as Matthews cleverly reinvents some of the classic MSC songs, to accompany the new originals. Ifit’s that vintage swooping pedal steel sound you’re after, this band may not be your cup of tea. But if you’re looking for an evening of pure, unadulterated, sonic bliss, Matthews Southern Comfort lives.
