Press release:

Winegum Records, Under the Radar and Lyttelton Records present Deep Water Creek on tour this September and October as they celebrate the release of their debut full-length album ‘News From the South’. With a 6 date tour throughout NZ, they will be sounding the trumpet, banging the drum, and bringing their mastery to the masses.

Deep Water Creek is the project of Christchurch based Singer/songwriter Matthew Smith. With a strong evocative sense for words and melody, Smith has a burning desire to celebrate, commiserate, and communicate. Since recording his debut E.P with Ben Edwards (The Sitting Room), Smith has been crossing the country developing a fearsome reputation as an electric performer full of dark energy and insight not often seen. One of New Zealand's rare and underrated talents, Smith’s band Deep Water Creek are a powerful and fitting foil for his restless inner vision.
