Matty T Wall Trio Plus Guest Support Moondog

"Australian-born guitarist Matty T. Wall proves the blues is alive and well down under. Infectious chops and a swagger that's soulful enough to rival that of any blues-fuelled, American shredder." - Guitar World Magazine, International

A young man with an old soul: Matty is connected to music with a wealth of history as he distills a diversity of genres into his own blues-influenced soul, jazz and rock signature. The blues is music that travelled on trains and steamboats from the Mississippi Delta to the neon streets of Memphis, Chicago and St. Louis. For Matty T Wall—a guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and bandleader—it is the supernatural sound that crossed the ocean to Perth, Australia to ignite his imagination and give power to his art.

A young man with an old soul: He remembers how the musicians he admired would honor the blues masters who came before them. And following the trail of Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan backwards, he was hooked. "I discovered Robert Johnson and he made the hair on the back of my neck stand up," he remembers. "I got into the blues and have never gotten out of it."

Matty wrings raw emotions from single notes, stretching and bending the strings of a Les Paul into sounds both persuasive and human. While he is capable of blazingly fast leads, he also drives the beat with percussive punctuation and solid assurance. With his vocals, he coils along the lines of the guitar. "I enjoy using my voice as another instrument," he avows.
