Your Heart of Gold is the hook-laden debut single from Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields from their forthcoming album, where a golden sunset frames the troubadours out on the open road, nostalgia runs deep between them. With multiple awards to their names and thousands of miles between them, Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields are bonafide masters of their craft, having discovered a natural chemistry as performers, the union of their songwriting enables them to explore new depths in their music.
Their ragged edge comes steeped in Alt-Country influences, building their sound around acoustic instruments and honest songwriting while devouring records from Bob Dylan, Gillian Welch, Tracy Chapman, Grant Lee Phillips, Dave Dobbyn and Neil Finn. See them take the stage together as they bring their live show home to Aotearoa to celebrate their debut release in conjunction with NZ music month!
The combined talents of both these two artists is really a perfect match and the chance to see them performing together should not be missed - Myles O'Neil-Shaw PBS FM
WE MAVERICKS
Fresh off the National Folk Festival, We Mavericks are bringing their strange trademark tightness and evocative originals to Melbourne for the first time. This troubadour duo pack mighty punches, but bring songs to heal your scars. Featuring only a foot-stomping Kiwi and a small-town Australian, they make music that is more than the sum of its parts.
Lindsay Martin’s masterful violin, mandolin and vocals meet Victoria Vigenser’s mesmerising voice and guitar work, in driving rhythms and a connectedness you must see to believe. Imagine an organic blend of lyrical pop and acoustic folk, but with echoes of soulful Americana in the harmonies, and Celtic roots running deeply throughout the instrumentation.
Their strangely gritty, evocative performances have seen them on a steep and fast rise to the big stages in both home countries; Spotlight showcase artists for Folk Alliance International 2022, nominated Aotearoa (NZ) Music Awards “Best Folk Artist” 2022, nominated Australian Folk Music Awards Artists of the Year, Best Duo/Group/Ensemble 2021 and recipients of the 2020 Troubadour Foundation Award, We Mavericks continue to enthral audiences far and wide.
