Mathew Semmens has been performing in the Hunter region for the past 18 years. He specialises in Classical and Spanish guitar and has just released his first Classical Guitar release called ‘CONSULO’. Matt has kindly taken time out of his busy schedule to give us his Desert 5.
TEN – PEARL JAM | I grew up listening to these guys…love the lyrics…they always hit me in the heart.
GRACE – JEFF BUCKLEY | Do i have to say anything here…gold!
BECK – MIDNIGHT VULTURES | I love the sound of funk and RnB so many layers of awesomeness on this album.
BLACK ALBUM – METALLICA | This is the birth of the metal sound we hear today. Sad but truuuueee.
TEXAS FLOOD – STEVIE RAY VAUGHN | One of the biggest influences on my guitar playing. Stevie taught me to play from the heart, and to love the sound of the blues….intense rockin, Texas blue
Mathew has a gig coming up at Lizottes on the 28th May featuring Joshua Holliday on drums. Matt describes the show as “Classical Guitar meets Math Prog Rock”. We’re really looking forward to it.
