Emily, in these strange times we are all hoping that you can be here for Bluesfest. It is hard to define Matty, but think blues-country-soul with a Fingers crossed. I was really disappointed and sad about the cancellation, but things happen. I’m looking forward to huge voice and great lyrics and you’re in the ballpark – soulfire October. music. For someone who hasn’t heard your music, how would you sum up your own sound? Matty is now working on his fourth studio album, in his own I think my sound is like a mango-coconut smoothie – with frangipanis and hibiscus around the sides of a leafy cup, with recording studio just outside of Byron. a few sparkles on the leaves. Catch him on Sunday, at The Rails. Will this be your first Bluesfest set? CONTINUED ON P24 I have performed at the event when it had the Boomerang Festival as part of it, but this will be my first time in the Bluesfest lineup – it’s exciting. What are you working on now? I currently am working on my new album, which I’m really, really excited about. I’ve just finished working on two songs from that album. I’m really taking my time. I don’t want to rush the process. My last album came out in 2018, so it’s been a while. My last single, Cruisin’ came out last year, but, I don’t know, I feel like you’ve just got to take your time with it. The things I want to sing about, and the things I want to say are really, really, really super personal, so I’m really vulnerable on this next album. And the public hasn’t seen that side of me. It’s gonna be interesting. And I’m exploring a lot of genres as well – I don’t really want to limit myself to any genres anymore. What sort of material are we going to see in your Bluesfest set? You’ll be seeing a lot of my old songs from my first EP Blacksmoke and songs from my album Milyakburra, but I’ll be also incorporating songs from my next album as well. What shows are you hoping to catch at the festival? I’m going to catch everyone! I’m just excited to be in a space where there’s a lot of music, but it’s going to be good to see Ocean Alley, The Cat Empire and John Butler – I just went on a tour together with John, and The Cat Empire – and I want to see Kasey Chambers, I love Kasey, she’s so amazing. I’m going to support all the First Nations artists – I guess that is a priority for me, and I know Adam Briggs and Uncle Troy Kassar Daley are performing, so I am looking forward to that. You can catch Emily Wurramara at Bluesfest in October. Tix from www.bluesfest.com.au.
