Description

Matt Maeson live at Zürcher Plaza Matt Maeson creates songs for the moments when you need them the most. His new single “Everlasting” reflects on the recent changes in Maeson's life: he has gotten married, moved from Austin to Nashville, and become a father. He processes these pivotal moments in the song loudly and grapples with the thought of leaving everything behind before he picks himself up again and finds solace in music. “I wrote Everlasting from a very downcast position. I tried to be a good father, a good husband, and a good artist, but I failed at all of it. The failure in all these areas led to a lot of intrusive thoughts. Thoughts that, I believe, many people in my situation have had, but which are not often talked about. They are ugly and uncomfortable, but they are still real. I had to be honest with myself, and writing this song gave me the opportunity to do that. It is a heartbreaking song that has brought me a lot of healing.” The multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist born in Virginia and living in Nashville transforms complicated feelings, restless thoughts, and self-doubt into captivating, catchy alternative anthems driven by relatable and raw emotions. Over the past ten years, Matt has captured the ups and downs of life on record. In 2019, he struck a chord with his debut LP “Bank on the Funeral” and made history. The two platinum-certified singles from the album - “Cringe” and “Hallucinogenics” (feat. Lana Del Rey) - each climbed to number 1 on the Alternative Charts, making him the first male solo artist to achieve two alternative hits at number 1 with a debut album. Following that, in 2022, he released “Never Had To Leave,” which was praised by American Songwriter, Consequence of Sound, and other critics. Contributors: Matt Maeson
