Matt Joe Gow at Hilltop Saturday 28 February

Anna from Kelburn

Saturday 28/2 - 7pm for 7.30 Start. Americana/Alt.Country artist Matt grew up in Dunedin but these days calls the road his home, and over his impressive career has toured with Grant Lee Phillips, Chris Isaak and the late great Justin Townes Earle. Backed subtly by a finger picked guitar figure, his voice will mesmerise you and allow you to slip away from whatever it was you were doing. His musical style is influenced by folk, blues, and soulful rock while being firmly rooted in country. Come along for a lovely evening concert. www.hilltophouseconcerts.co.nz... ...
