This Bakers show has Scott it all

- LOCHLIN HIGHET

One of Kilmarnock’s hottest properties is back in town next month.

Matt Scott will be playing at Kilmarnock’s incredible venue Bakers on Fowlds Street on Saturday, March 2.

Matt and his band will be rocking the Bakers stage with support, as doors open at 7pm.

He is a singer- songwriter and multi- instrument­alist from Kilmarnock who has headlined shows across the UK, in North America and in Europe.

And 2017 saw the release of his debut EP, backed by a band, with the facetiousl­y titled ‘ Whoever That Is...’ followed by two headlining shows at King Tuts ( Glasgow) and a top slot at Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival ( Inverness).

North America had seen two performanc­es by Matt in Nashville, Tennessee before starting 2018 with national radio coverage and further headline performanc­es around Scotland.

The singer has received kudos from legendary Scottish artists such as Frankie Miller and Paolo Nutini, and has supported notable acts including The Alabama 3, Hurray for the Riff Raff, and Ben Caplan. Matt has received national radio play through BBC Introducin­g following the release of his debut single ‘ All Out Of Sorts’. His new single ‘ Kicking Leaves’ was out in November.

Ahead of the gig, he said: “This will be the first hometown show I’ve done with this band, so we all can’t wait for it.

“I headlined the old bakers a few years ago, so it’ll be some buzz returning with this band.

“I’m doing my first album this year, it’ll all be self- funded. If you are a fan of independen­t musicians then this is the show for you.”
