Plus here is some further info on myself and the band:
Matt Arthur - Hailing from the Central West of NSW. In 2018, Matt proudly released his debut solo album, “On Their Shoulders”, garnering acclaim for his acoustic covers of his favourite artists like Eric Clapton, Keb Mo, John Hiatt, and Bill Withers. Like most artists, 2020 brought unexpected changes, as Matt’s plans to tour were derailed by the pandemic. However, this setback turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as Matt rekindled his passion for original music, resulting in the 2023 release of his first original album, “Then & Now”. With the expert production of Rolling Wheel Studios, this album offers engrossing and intriguing songs that reflect on Matt’s past and present, making it a must-have for guitar enthusiasts and fans of blues music.
