BACKGROUND
Matt Wicking is a powerful singer, songwriter, and award-winning lyricist. His band The General Assembly has long been the vehicle for his music, combining his unforgettable voice and poetic songs with an electric spirit.
Paul Raine's multi-instrumental talents are a core part of the band's recent sound - with Matt and Paul combining powers for spellbinding live shows as a duo.
The General Assembly's debut album, Vanishing Point (2017) was a PBS FM ‘Top 10 Feature Album’ plus ‘Album of the Week’ on Blues & Roots Radio. Reviews in The Music described the lead single as “exhilarating” and “an absolute dream”. The album itself was variously described as “sublime” and “stunning”.
This gig takes place on the lands of the Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. Always was, always will be. One way we honour that is by paying the rent.
The Tav is a standing room only venue. Seating can be provided for people with a disability.
