Australian singer/songwriter/guitarist and instrumentalist Joe Matera is a man with many talents. As a respected music journalist and the best-selling author of ‘Backstage Pass: The Grit and The Glamour’, Matera is not one to sit idle.
Matera signed to iconic Australian record label Possum Records for the worldwide release of his album, The Lone Runner. Better known musically for his guitar driven pop-rock music, the new all instrumental album sees Matera taking a left turn on his musical evolution path, with a cocktail of sounds the delve into electronica, beats, guitar and synths to create an ambient and chilled outing which at times, evokes the musical spirit of Massive Attack, Mike Oldfield and Brian Eno.
