Matt Katsis:
Melbourne singer/songwriter & guitarist Matt Katsis’ music ranges from delicate folk balladry to foot stomping down-home blues.
Those who have seen Matt live will recall his raw vocals and command of the acoustic guitar. Matched with a one-man-band approach to his performances through the use of percussive elements of the guitar, stomp box, tambourine and creating loop layers – this together has become the cornerstone of Matt’s live blend of blues, roots & folk-stirred music, which has been heard on numerous Australian stages and festival line-ups and at iconic venues.
The Old Church on the Hill is located on the corner of Harkness and Russell Streets, Quarry Hill, Bendigo.
The Singer/Songwriter Showcase events, staged there by the BB&RMF crew on a semi-regular basis, are an opportunity to enjoy a House Concert vibe in a public venue. The door charge is generally $15 for adults ($10 for Friends of the Festival members) and, although refreshments are available for sale, the focus is on THE MUSIC.
Sound production is provided at the Old Church on the Hill by our good friends R&J DJ & Entertainment (facebook.com/rjdjandentertainment) and supplimented when needed by our supportive partners at Muso’s Stuff Bendigo (facebook.com/Musos.Stuff).
100% of the door takings are able to be shared between the performers with thanks to our valued sponsors at Kensey Care (facebook.com/KenseyCare).
