Matt Maltese is set to bring his signature blend of melancholic charm and lyrical wit to Oakland this fall. And this offers fans a chance to experience his latest album Hers live. Known for crafting intimate narratives around love and loss, Maltese continues to evolve as both a performer and collaborator across music and theatre.
According to a press release by his management, Matt Maltese is currently on the road for the North American leg of his Tour For You My Whole Life. And he’ll be stopping in Oakland at Fox Theatre on October 21.
Earlier this year, Matt Maltese released his sixth studio album Hers – his most insular and intimate project to date. Maltese has long drawn from the tried and tested artistic wellspring of romance and heartbreak, but the songs that make up Hers find him reflecting upon a serious long-term relationship and the more grown-up complexities of love through the rearview, with the quiet artfulness for which he has become so beloved.
Listen to Hers:
Having first established himself as a songwriter with a knack for dry one-liners and a keen eye for self-deprecation, Maltese released debut album Bad Contestant back in 2018. The three albums that followed over the next five years cemented his position as one of the UK’s finest young songwriters. Since the release of 2023’s Driving Just To Drive, Maltese has been busy in multiple behind the scenes roles, lending his songwriting abilities to a number of fellow artists, and establishing indie label Last Recordings On Earth. Last year saw Matt share covers album Songs That Aren’t Mine, a collection of some of his favourite songs, recorded at home with guest features by friends including Dora Jar and Liana Flores. Elsewhere, he made his theatre songwriting debut, composing all original music and lyrics for The Royal Shakespeare Company’s winter production of Twelfth Night.
With Hers, Matt Maltese continues to deepen his connection with listeners through raw emotion and lyrical finesse. His upcoming Oakland performance promises an evening of vulnerability, artistry, and the kind of quiet resonance that has earned him a devoted fanbase. Fans old and new won’t want to miss this special stop on his North American tour—secure your spot and be part of the experience.
