Matt Maeson

Matt Maeson brings his raw, story-led alternative rock to Òran Mór in Glasgow on 26 September 2026. Raised in Virginia Beach, the singer-songwriter moves between indie rock, folk and pop textures, pairing a rough-edged voice with lyrics that lean toward confession. His songs tend to grow from pared-back acoustic tension into more electric, driving passages, always anchored by the narrative.

Breaking through in the mid-2010s with the EPs Who Killed Matt Maeson and The Hearse, he pushed that balance further on Bank on the Funeral (2019) and Never Had to Leave (2022). Live, the contrast—quiet verses, surging choruses—comes through clearly, drawing focus to tracks like Hallucinogenics (also known in a version with Chelsea Cutler) and deeper cuts from across his catalogue.

Expect a focused set where voice and guitar lead, with arrangements that shift in intensity without losing intimacy. It’s a show built on dynamics and detail, the kind that lets each line land before the next wave hits.
