Trombonist • Singer • Songwriter

Hailing from Rostrevor, Northern Ireland and now based in the rugged landscape of northwest Donegal, Matt Benson is a genre-blending musician whose soulful brass lines and heartfelt vocals have taken him from global festival stages to the intimate studio spaces of his debut solo release.

A seasoned trombonist, Benson has spent over a decade touring and recording with a diverse array of artists including George Ezra, Bad Manners, Sam & The Womp (with whom he recorded the platinum-selling single “BomBom”), and even legends like Brian May and Coolio. Since 2017, he has been a core member of George Ezra’s touring band, performing on the world’s biggest stages including Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, the Brit Awards, Royal Albert Hall, and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Benson’s solo work showcases his rich musicality and emotional depth, blending elements of soul, jazz, 60s R&B and folk. His upcoming debut album Sit Back Down Again (2025) is a deeply personal project shaped by grief, memory, and resilience, including a moving tribute to his late sister. Recorded at Camden Studios in Dublin with producer Cian Boylan and a handpicked band of session players, the album places Benson’s warm vocals and brass arrangements at its core.

Known for his expressive playing and generous stage presence, Matt Benson is carving out a unique space where brass meets storytelling—bringing intimacy and energy in equal measure.
