From Western Australia, Matty T Wall, extraordinary blues guitarist, singer, songwriter and bandleader announces his new live album Live Down Underground, set to release June 3rd. The seven-time Independent Blues Award nominee and Western Australian Music Award-winner, has three back-to-back number one Australian blues albums, and a new album you don’t want to miss. His last record Transpacific Blues Vol.1 featured some of the finest guitarists on the international music scene, including Eric Gales, Walter Trout, Kirk Fletcher, Dave Hole and Kid Ramos.
With his genre-busting musical styles, the ever-energetic and powerful Matty T Wall distills a diversity of genres into his own blues-influenced soul, jazz, and rock. From sweet blues to gritty, stomping, blues rocking beats, Wall returns to the stage more electric than ever. Wall is a wild man of the blues, his six-string chops jet-fueled with ferocity and grit. “Broken Heart Tattoo” is merely a taste of what you’ll find on Live Down Underground.
“Broken Heart Tattoo” is dynamic, bold, and captivating. Wall contrasts heavy, riff-based sections with lower-toned, spoken word storytelling to bring us this tale of barroom romance and violent manipulation. The song is an updated talking blues about a situation that was bad from the start and bound to get worse and Wall delivers it masterfully. If you’re looking for modern, cliche-free blues/rock, you just found it.

Matty T Wall’s power trio is made up of seasoned pros, including Leigh Miller on bass and Ric Whittle on drums. Since the release of Trans Pacific Blues Vol. 1, Sidewinder and Blue Skies, Wall is gaining ground in his career and becoming recognized as the fiery artist he is. With an inventive flair for infusing blues, rock, jazz, and some funky rhythms into his music, Wall’s love of the blues and rock are infused with intensity and verve, with the support of his killer rhythm section.
Hitting the live circuit, Wall is a serious contender in the blues/rock scene.
