'Blue Skies' The Single From His Forthcoming Album

"The bands did shine, and in the middle was Matty T Wall putting down some guitar as good as I've ever heard in that room, great tone, great choice of notes..."

- Rik Van Der Velde, Perth Blues Club, head sound engineer

"Wall’s own songs are all strong, well arranged and driven by his shimmering guitar work."

 - Downatthecrossroads.wordpress.com 

"With a blistering clean tone, infectious chops and a swagger that's soulful enough to rival that of any blues-fueled, American shredder, Australian-born guitarist Matty T. Wall proves the blues is alive and well Down Under."

- James Wood guitarworld.com

"Wall gives us an absolute gem in Love Gone Away – a slow blues with simmering guitar playing that reaches right into your chest and grabs and twists your innards. The effect is visceral and moving."

- Downatthecrossroads.wordpress.com

"It’s also an apropos title—when you consider that Blue Skies is not only an impressive debut from one of the next generation of blues shredders, but also an album that’s bound to leave a big smile on your face."

- James Wood guitarworld.com

Perth born and bred Matty T Wall is already well on his way to joining legends just like Dave Hole, Bon Scott (ACDC) and the John Butler Trio. “I am like an elastic band pulled really tight, ready to go,” he says. “That’s how I feel about my music.” In his youth following bands like Metallica and Sepultura he recognised how they honoured the blues masters before them, aspiring to be at their level he got into the blues and since Matty has "never gotten out of it."

Having studied many disciplines such as flamenco, swing jazz and funk Matty is recognised as a master of the guitar. He wrings raw emotions from as little as a single note by bending the strings of his beloved 1961 Les Paul Custom into tantalising sounds that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up to attention. He is not just playing music of the past though, he is redefining the genre with his modern stance and influences.

"The fresh blood from dynamic youngsters Old Blood and MattyTWall, showing that age is not a factor in bringing out the Blues in people."

- By Derek Cromb, announcer on 89.7 FM’s Play The Blues., Rhythm Magazine Blues At Bridgetown 2013

The 'Blue Skies' single showcases his creative playing through the wonderfully detailed virtuosic inflections he decorates his music with.  As observed by Geoff Scott, "One of the best blues guitarists that I have ever witnessed. " from the White Star, Albany.
