Once he was Australia’s “best kept secret” but now Joe Matera – guitar-wielding troubadour whose musical prowess informed his secondary career as a music journalist who could dig prodigiously beyond the norm – is an international commodity.
After a succession of arresting singles and albums, performing alongside and collaborating with a wide body of artists from Steve Harley and Swedish hard rockers Rough Rockers to, vital to this release, Don Powell of Slade, Matera has extended his reputation to a global audience, culminating in his latest single Inside Looking Out.
So much so that the legendary Powell performs drum duties on the release, which is a truly international collaboration featuring Powell (Denmark), Janne Borgh (Sweden) and Joe, who recorded his parts from Australia.
Inside Looking Out is released via Mercury Fire Music on October 29 on all digital platforms.
