Matt Rispin

Johnny Cash, CCR, The Doors and Elvis are the backbone of a Matt Rispin set: classic hits played solo on acoustic guitar, with a soulful voice over the top. The guitar work drives the songs along rather than just strumming under them, so one performer carries more push than you might expect. That suits a pub session or a birthday where people already know the words and want to hear the old favourites played live. Matt is based in the Rural City of Wangaratta in Victoria.
