A collection of traditional Irish and Scottish ballads sung and played in a traditional style. This album is raw and stripped back, featuring warm volcals and guitar.
Original contemporary folk music with rich vocals and intricate guitar work. Reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel, Luka Bloom, Passenger and Dougie Maclean.
Matthew's debut album consists of original works of art and song, wonder and romance. Fiddle, piano and Irish Bodhrán support Matthew's warm and sensitive style.
"Matthew stands out amongst his generation of up and coming musicians as an astonishing guitar player and songwriter. Drawing on old and contemporary folk music that I don't see much around the Australian scene. And he really nails it live."
