Edit history

Australian story teller; a unique guitarist of extraordinary ability; a man whose touring exploits almost redefine the word “troubadour”; an artist with more energy on stage than a hessian bag full of souped-up Wolverines - all of this is true when you speak of the fella from Kununurra, Chris Matthews. But with the release of his 5th album LITTLE BIT LONG WAY, he’s proven that he’s more than that – he’s also a songwriter of the highest order. Eminently listenable, approachable, and a truly Australian sound to his tunes, he’s one of the rare artists who can combine impeccable musicianship with self penned songs that almost anyone can relate to. Learning from the best and also taking his cues from all the great Australian songwriters before him, Matthews has also managed to find something of a rarity in today's music world - his own voice.
