Matt Arthur & The Lazy Bones: Six String Blues | Ballarat Blues Festival

Step into the world of Six String Blues— from the melodies of Delta icons like Robert Johnson to the soul-stirring sounds of Chicago legends such as Muddy Waters, and into the electrifying licks of modern maestros like Eric Clapton and John Mayer, this show bridges generations of blues brilliance.

On stage, Matt Arthur—backed by the talented Lazybones—delivers a performance that’s as moving as it is masterful. Through his soulful playing and captivating stage presence, Matt brings the timeless legends of blues guitar to life, blending nostalgia with fresh energy.

The show also highlights Matt’s personal journey with the blues. In 2024, he released his latest album Then & Now, a collection of original songs that explore his past and present. Drawing on the rich legacy of blues to shape his own voice, Matt weaves selections from this album into the performance, illustrating the profound influence the genre has had on his songwriting.
