Matt Corby is both a local Murwillumbah resident and also an internationally recognised music artist extraordinaire.
Last year was an absolute highlight at Bluesfest, where he headlined alongside Jack Johnson and The Tesky Brothers. That year saw the release of his third album Everything’s Fine. It was nominated for album of the year by both ARIA and Triple J, and was the reason for soldout shows across the UK, Europe, US and Australia.
Matt is blessed with a voice made out of gold. His breakout single was the heartfelt ‘Brother’. Now certified ‘six-times-platinum’ by ARIA, the song is adored by his audience as a bona fide Australian classic. He has backed that up with three acclaimed albums and hit singles ‘Resolution’, ‘Miracle Love’ and ‘No Ordinary Life’.
This is Matt Corby’s first show in the Northern Rivers since that iconic Bluesfest slot and likely his only show in the area for 2025.
The show is part of the Great Southern Nights series, which is fast becoming a beloved live music celebration that will take place in multiple venues across NSW in March/April – the inaugural Great Southern Nights was launched in November 2020 by the NSW government through Destination NSW and in partnership with ARIA. Great Southern Nights plays a vital role in supporting the live music, entertainment, and hospitality sectors as they recover from the weather, and before that the pandemic.
Matt Corby is at the Green Room on the Bluesfest site in Tyagarah on Saturday from 7pm to 11pm. The show is 18+ and final tickets are available at moshtix – tinyurl.com/MattCorbyGSN.
