Experience Matilda Sutherland’s raw blend of country storytelling and alt-rock grit as she performs her Cowgirl Manifesto EP live at Abbotsford Convent’s historic Oratory on Saturday, 7 November with Andrew Wilson, & CCTVMaking music that sits somewhere between country confessional and raw rock and roll, Matilda carries on the gritty storytelling tradition of Patti Smith, with the tenderness and stylings of Dolly Parton, PJ Harvey or Sharon Van Etten.
Hailing from coastal New South Wales, Matilda grew up surrounded by surf rock, folk, soul and 80s ballads before relocating to Melbourne in 2014. She began her musical career as a DJ under the moniker MTLDA, becoming a respected fixture of Melbourne's underground techno scene. When the pandemic ground nightlife to a halt, a beat-up old Yamaha acoustic guitar became the catalyst for a new creative chapter.
Since then, Matilda has steadily built a reputation as one of Melbourne's most compelling emerging singer-songwriters and live acts. Backed by a five-piece band, she moves between steel-soaked folk and distorted rock with ease, her lyricism and voice the constant.
Matilda Sutherland performs the entire Cowgirl Manifesto EP LIVE, including:
Joanne
Broke Dreams
Rodeo Queen
Silver Thorn
Wild Mustang

It is an ode to past lives, dreams and nostalgia that is guided by intuition, the natural world and a deep curiosity of the heart.
Having unveiled her debut single “Runaway” followed by “Dreaming of You” both co-produced by Brendan West (Goldminds, Al Matcott), these atmospheric and bold tracks mark a preview of CCTV’s forthcoming debut album due for release in 2027.
