I always get such a kick out of discovering new Aussie talent. The latest lad to cross my path and excite my ears is Matt Walters, a laidback folkster from southwest Victoria.
“Echo On” is the title track from Matt’s debut EP, which is set to drop in July. It’s indicative of this talented gent’s amazing sound, unadorned, acoustic, free of studio trickery, and utterly beautiful.
