Beautiful Girls front man Mat McHugh is currently wowing audiences in the United States, but he’ll be back soon enough to promote his new solo EP, Go Don’t Stop.
I’ve had a listen to the title track and it’s just the thing I need to shake off this winter chill. The laid back grooves and easy stripped back vocals have me thinking of all those summer festivals ahead. If this is a sign of what’s to come on this EP, Beautiful Girls fans and a few musical newbies are going to be very impressed.
Just as the EP goes back to basics so will this tour. Mat will play intimate venues in acoustic mode, with a set list spanning the last ten years. Tickets are available from the venues for the following shows.
