I'm not sure if anyone outside of Oz and maybe some of Europe know of Matt Corby. If not, check out his work on You Tube.

I saw him for the second time on Saturday night and his brilliance cannot be 100% captured in a studio, it must be experienced live. He is the best live act Australia had at the moment. He played around 4 or 5 new songs, which will be on his first Full length release, and they were all excellent. And his previous work off his various EP's is always great. If you only know the song "Brother", check out his other work as it is only a small insightr into who he is.

He was supported on this tour by Grace Woodroofe, who was a very nice surprise. It's hard to pin down her sound, but had me thinking of PJ Harvey/90's ALT/something else.... By no means is she a PJ Harvey clone, but certain songs reminded me of her. I liked her show enough to grab her CD and 7"Vinyl at the Merch stand and I wasn't disappointed.
I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    I caught his set at Byron Bay Bluesfest this year. He is definitely unique.
