Matt Joe Gow Break Rattle And Roll CD

Born in New Zealand in what is known colloquially as the “deep south”, it is fitting that Matt found his feet as a songwriter in a genre of music that was born in the Deep South of the USA.

Whilst these far flung regions have little in common in terms of climate - the former sometimes bitterly cold where the latter is sultry heat - they both share a rich musical history, and Matt absorbed both growing up. Of New Zealand Chinese and Northern English heritage, and having lived in New Zealand, England, Canada and Austria, Matt brings this worldliness and experience to his songs, which are delivered in his characteristic baritone.

From Queenscliff to boutique Americana festivals, from supporting Chris Isaak to Justin Townes Earle, Matt Joe Gow has built a simmering credibility to go alongside the authentic Alt Country tones. Fresh off a full band tour of his acclaimed new album 'Break, Rattle And Roll' and a tour with Grant Lee Phillips, Melbourne troubadour Matt Joe Gow brings his soulful Americana sound to the physical realm.
