The Silver Reserve - Live Music - Market Place

Matthew Sturgess, who performs as The Silver Reserve, plays delicate, sparse music on a classical guitar, crafting intricate melodies around thoughtful and evocative lyrics. At times creating dense, layered atmospherics, this is music that doesnt rush and takes its sweet, sad time to unfurl and sneak under the skin.

We all need a back-up, right? Something we keep in reserve for bolster and balance. A stockpile of what we most need when we most need it. The Silver Reserve is the solo vehicle for songwriter Matthew Sturgess whose beautifully crafted songs take their time to mesmerise, sooth, jolt and enchant. Beauty, darkness, hope, and joy are carefully observed in lyrics that celebrate the detail of living, and feel instantly recognisable and authentic. Melody and harmony thrive in delicate guitar driven arrangements and complex soundscapes. A performance finds you holding your breath. Its music that gets into your bones.
