Edit history

Matt & Syd's shows have earned a reputation for a unique haunting power. The songs, the voice, and the playing add up to far more than the sum of their parts. The sound is sometimes haunting and fragile, then suddenly huge and richly orchestrated. It’s often hard to believe there are only two people on stage. Finalists for APRA Songwriter of the Year in 2006 & 2008, TonkSGreen take their audience somewhere unexpected. In a hybrid steel string, flamenco, finger-style attack, Matts guitar is sampled & looped, creating waves of mesmerising, spontaneous sound. Combining Matt’s powerful, creative vocal & guitar with Syd’s intuitive, compelling drums & dobro, these two passionate performers push the limits of duo... TonkSGreen have recently played the 14th Annual Blue Mountains Music Festival '09, Peats Ridge Festival, Imagine Festival (Melbourne), Festival of Flight, The Vanguard, The Basement, the Enmore Theatre, a headlining tour to NZ, & the Surry Hills Festival.
