Biography

REINTRODUCING Jess & Matt.  Now independent recording artists, the Sydney singer/songwriters have released their first original album, Wildflowers – an ultra-personal document to musical freedom and intense self-discovery.  The record debuted at #11 on the ARIA charts, #1 album on iTunes & held #1 independent album for 2 weeks.    “There’s a new energy, rediscovering a real love for what we do, bringing it back to the acoustic guitar and writing songs the way we used to. This album feels like coming home.”    The husband-and-wife pair were set to head to Nashville (as they did every year) in March 2020 but like all musicians, COVID changed their plans. They had a back-up plan: a cabin in the Southern Highlands of NSW, just up the road from where Matt Corby made Telluric. Hooking up power and hot water, they started creating a record inspired by Bon Iver’s own DIY cabin magic and Kacey Musgrave’s genre-bending, with songs about everything from dementia to dark times in their marriage. “It was a surreal time in the world, which added to the album process. We were so excited to lock ourselves away & co-produce the record with Patrick Byrne.”   Wildflowers has an impressive list of co-writers and co-producers including Patrick Byrne, Louis Schoorl (Charlotte Lawrence), David Hodges (Dan + Shay), Steve Solomon (James Arthur), PJ Harding (Noah Cyrus) to name a few.
