Last weekend, Matt Corby (the new kid on the Shiny block), released his first new material for 2010…the stomping new-folk track “My False” b/w the sublime “Lighthome” …available from the omni present iTunes store.

This week we’re announcing Matt’s first ever national Australian tour as he looks to turn the volume from quiet to loud. The tour will see Matt play 13 shows across a three week period in July and will culminate when he supports Mumford and Sons at their sold out shows at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre.

This is your chance to catch an emerging, dynamic young artist at the beginning of his career in intimate settings throughout New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia. As Big Kev says, “i’m excited”!

In the meantime you can download an exclusive free live version of “Lighthome” at Matt’s website. Recorded live at Studio 301 in Sydney if this one doesn’t make you go “ooh” and “ahh” then you may just be related the Tin Man from Wizard Of Oz!

Don’t believe me? Here’s what Ben Lovett from Mumford and Sons had to say: “”Matt Corby’s voice is the epitome of angelic and he sings almost effortlessly on this song (“My False”). Matt is here from Australia working with us on an EP at the moment – it’s going to be amazing, a mix of Jeff Buckley and Pink Floyd influenced songs, his talent is way beyond his 19 years. He gave a spellbinding performance at Communion in London last week, you literally could have heard a pin drop. Matt is destined for great things in the future…”
