Matt Southon

Matt Southon is an emerging blues player from the far south coast of New South Wales. Having settled in the small country town of Wyndham five years ago after many years in the Illawarra, Matt has been concentrating on his 'Australian Verandah Blues'. A unique blend of music - inspired by the passion and fire of old style bluesman like Son House, Charlie Patton & Leadbelly.

With a resonator crafted from old corrugated iron, and a powerful singing style, Matt can’t hide the fact that his love of the old blues has combined with a love of stuff like the Ramones or the Dead Kennedy's. Influenced also by modern legends like Hat Fitz, Jeff Lang, Lloyd Spiegel and Geoff Achison; a Matt Southon performance has been described as frightening in its intensity, but still raucous, fun and entertaining.
