UK born, US based artist Matt Schofield heads to Australia for the very first time ever for a run of exclusive club shows in November 2022. Schofield, who will be performing here with his trio – Jonny Henderson (keys/bass) and Evan Jenkins (drums) – is a multi-award winning guitar virtuoso, singer, songwriter, producer and band leader, plus three time “British Blues Guitarist of the Year” and “British Blues Album of the Year” winner, and was the first guitarist inducted into the “British Blues Awards Hall of Fame”. He’s also been awarded Mojo Magazine’s “Blues Album of the Year” and Guitar & Bass Magazine’s “Top Ten British Blues Guitarist of All Time” alongside Eric Clapton and Peter Green. But what remains ever impressive is Schofield live; his ability to connect with audiences immediately and profoundly is unforgettable. And his authenticity, mastery of guitar, emotive vocals, and improvisational brilliance are brought to life within his innovative original compositions. After more than 30 years of performing, and 20 years into his solo career, Schofield’s impact as one of the most influential and distinctive guitarists of his generation is unquestionable.
We caught up with Matt to find out what we can expect when he hits our shores here in November as well as news of what he is currently working on. A much anticipated tour for guitar fans country-wide. All the dates, venues and ticket links are below.
