Iain Matthews (born Ian Matthews MacDonald,

16 June 1946) is an English musician and singer-songwriter. He was an original member of the British folk rock band Fairport Convention from 1967 to 1969 before leaving to form his own band, Matthews Southern Comfort, which had a UK number one in 1970 with their cover of Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock".[2] In 1979, his recording of Terence Boylan's "Shake It" reached No. 13 on the US charts.

"’I Don't Know’ is a song about finding new love immediately following the end of a destructive relationship, and learning to put aside hesitation caused by damage from the past,” explains Michels. “While I wrote the song to have a hint of sorrow in there, I wanted the overall tone of it to be more upbeat and give the listener a small dose of ‘will they, won't they?’ which my producer, Jon Muq, captured perfectly. I wrote this song pretty quickly after a traumatizing breakup about someone I had met within that same week, and I'm happy to share that we've been together for almost three years now.”

As she continues, “This song feels like the perfect one to introduce REVOLUTION, because while it's technically a love song, it's focused primarily on the internal struggles, thoughts and feelings of the protagonist, an overarching element of this project. Each song gives the listener a unique insight into various situations, emotions, or thought processes I have day to day, and I feel like the personal aspect of this EP is what makes it special to me.”

While developing a reputation as an opera singer earlier in her career, she’s already had the honor of performing at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. in 2017. Now, throughout 2024, McKenna Michels is continuing to make a big impact with her fans, getting them excited and ready for her new music. She’s had the honor of opening for three accomplished musical artists on the European legs of their tours, including Echosmith (“Cool Kids”), WizTheMC (South African-German rapper best known for his TikTok hit “For a Minute”) and L.A.-based pop artist EMEI (recently featured by Spotify during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month). During a recent stop in Belgium, she did a secret free show of her own in Brugge at an intimate venue, Villa Bota, for fans who packed the venue, some coming from hours away just to catch one of her ethereal, unapologetic, and haunting performances up close.
