House of Blues - Jam Night

Matt KatsisTuesday 4th July 2023

Feature act: MATT KATSIS 

MATT KATSIS has introduced his blues, roots and folk-stirred sounds to audiences far and wide with gusto and merit for the past ten years - from busking the streets of his hometown Melbourne, to avid traveller extensively touring his one man band approach. 

Following a short stint of shows in Oregon USA, an opportunity that arose after been awarded Bruthen Blues Festival’s International Musician's Challenge in the Summer of 2014, his EP “The Burke & Wills Sessions”, received warm welcome in North America and Canada in 2016. His version of J.J. Cale's' 'Call Me The Breeze’ was picked up by Apple Music’s 'The A-List: Blues' and 'Roadhouse Blues' Playlist, and the track soon amassed over half a million streams across the platform. 

In this latest chapter, and finding harmony in the engineer’s seat, late 2021 saw the release of his retrospective studio album “Over The Horizon” and 2023 anticipates his second full-length album “Transits”, where for the most part was recorded from his current home in central Victoria. 

Performing delicate ballads or foot-stomping slide guitar with down-home swagger, Katsis nods to the pioneering and enduring legacy of which the genres traditions relay, yet embraces a distinctly modern sound mirrored across his songwriting, recording and live approach, by way of live looping and creating ambient soundscapes on the fly.
