Matt thunders and captivates
Thundering riffs, wailing vocals, high-energy crescendos, captivating acapella, unorthodox guitar work and original storytelling are the backbone of a Matt Stillert show.
Matt’s unique sounds range from soul-soothing folk melodies to high-energy foot-stomping alt-blues/rock, displaying a dynamic blend of roots-influenced music.
Returning from overseas in November 2016, Matt will be bringing his act back up the east coast of Oz for another full tour; while still performing his solo act, he will be bringing his full band as well, armed with the arsenal of his full repertoire.
Thursday, The Rails.
In the Wake off your Heart
In Hearts Wake are wrapping up their Duality album tour where it all began in their home of Byron Bay.
Currently preparing themselves to share massive stages across Australia with Slipknot and Lamb of God at the end of the month, frontman Jake Taylor is looking forward to celebrating the incredible success of the Duality album cycle: ‘The Duality cycle has been a dream come true for us. We could have never predicted that 22 tracks, written and recorded in the same session, would bring us to where we are today, touring with the likes of Slipknot and Lamb of God! We can’t wait to conclude what has been such a monumental album cycle for the band. Looking forward to the celebration with our friends and family in Byron.’
Saturday, Great Northern Hotel.
