Matt Joe Gow
From Day On The Green to boutique Americana festivals, from shows with Marlon Williams to Justin Townes Earle, Matt Joe Gow has built a simmering credibility to go along side the authentic Alt Country tones. Fresh off a tour with Grant Lee Phillips and an Age Music Victoria Nomination for Best Country Album, Dunedin born troubadour Matt Joe Gow, brings his roaring Americana sound back to Dunedin for the release of his highly anticipated album Break, Rattle And Roll.
Jo Little & Jared Smith
Jo Little & Jared Smith sound like they belong on stage in the deep south of America, there is a nostalgic feel about their music that’s familiar even though you have never heard it before. Smith’s guitar is a well worn instrument and you can see why when he performs, the strings moan and cry between verses, tastefully showing a restraint that allows the music to speak for itself. Little’s velvety smooth and agile vocals skillfully
harmonize with Smith’s more smoky and gruff tones, expertly weaving catchy hooks through songs inspired by the ups and downs of love and their life on the road. Their debut album Live At The Boathouse is out now.
