Matilda Rowe presents Creases Live

Matilda Rowe brings together some of London’s best musicians to perform her expansive debut project - Creases - for the first time ever, in an immersive, live launch unlike any other.

In the round and in two acts, central force of the independent music scene, Matilda Rowe, will be bringing the audience intimately and boldly into the world she has spent the last five years building.

Creases is an expansive coming-of-age experience, capturing pockets of humanity in each of its layers. Full of drama and insightful prescience, Matilda takes you by the hand - with her honest lyrics and powerful voice - through tumultuous turns and raw catharsis.

Inspired by the likes of Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse, Portishead, Lianne La Havas and Laura Marling, the project oscillates wildly and deliberately across genres with a storytelling spine and beating heart of Jazz.

Having been taught and mentored as a teen by Jazz FM Awards 2025 Vocalist of the Year, Alice Zawadzki, Matilda is now known for her poignant lyrics and distinctive sound that blends jazz and indie folk. She has captivated audiences across the UK with her magnetic performances, poetic lyricism and unpredictable melodies, and has built a loyal following because of it.

Just as Creases blurs lines of expectation and genre, the show will do the same, pushing the boundaries of what a gig can be in the name of storytelling and communal experience.

Capturing ‘the live’ was at the heart of her intention when she came to producer, Gareth Finnegan (Comet is Coming, Imogen Heap), with the demos in December 2023. And so, almost two years later, it is only right that we let it take the stage it was born for and witness how it breathes.

We look forward to seeing you there.
