Matthew And The Atlas in Manchester

Matthew And The Atlas is the indie-folk project of British singer-songwriter Matt Hegarty, who began releasing music under the name in 2010. Acoustic arrangements and a low, textured voice shape songs including “Elijah” and “Pale Sun Rose,” while the albums Other Rivers and Temple established the project’s full-band sound. Matthew And The Atlas toured with Mumford & Sons during the project’s early years. Headline tours followed Other Rivers and Temple, taking the act through clubs and theatres in Britain and continental Europe after those early dates with Mumford & Sons.
