Mat Stokes

Mat Stokes sings and plays guitar at once, so one booking gets you a lead vocalist and a guitarist in the same person. His voice leans towards smooth R&B, and the guitar playing has real bite. The set draws on pop, pop rock, disco and funk, which covers both the easygoing early part of the night and the stretch when people want to move. He's a solo performer on the Gold Coast, a handy size for a bar, a birthday or a function room where a full band would crowd the corner.
