Sun soaked WA Blues and Roots artist and regular festival performer, Matt Cal presents undeniably groovy song-writing fuelled with Grungy vibes and strung together with folk sensibilities etched from life experience and listening to the great songwriters of the ages. Acoustic guitar, dobro guitar, slide guitars, stomp combine with thoughtful yet whimsical lyrics and melodies. With a steady string of single releases, quality supports and a recent sold out launch at Duke of George this is a show not to be missed…
Matt describes music as like breathing, something he has always known yet remains a mystery…At 46 he has been writing songs for the better part of 30 years with little else grabbing his attention over the years.
At his heart Matt is a story teller thru song crafting lyrics of truth, fable and fiction to accompany his excellent acoustic guitar skills along with special guests on Didgeridoo, Sax and Bass during the evening
Original songs with acoustic guitar, dobro slide guitar, Cigar box blues guitar, stomp box, live looping and storytelling combine for a thoughtful, unique musical experience that’ll have your ears, hearts and souls warm and toasty.
