Matt Boylan-Smith is a Wild Man with the Voice of an Angel
Today, we introduce you to enigmatic talent, Matt Boylan-Smith. By no stretch new to the music scene, he is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter, who left his hometown of Bathurst, regional NSW, to travel the world and tell his stories.
Having toured extensively throughout Australia, as well as multiple tours of Europe and a foray into South America, Matt’s live shows are known as an unforgettable experience, with ‘old soul’ story telling delivered by exquisite vocals.
Gaining national radio play on triple j with his single “We Can Be Together”, Matt Boylan-Smith has generated over three million streams on Spotify with single “Down by the Ocean”, a collaboration with Alora and Senii (Finland). The trio reached #30 on Germany and Finland’s viral Spotify charts.
Recently recognised at the Madrid International Film Festival, Matt took out the Best Short Films category for his unreleased music video “Johnny”, and he’s also performed at the the 40th anniversary of the Sydney Opera House, a pre-match show for the National Rugby League, and various national Australian festivals.
Now, he has struck out into 2020 with an orchestral, anthemic, passionate new single, “We Dream of River Songs”, which showcases his incredible propensity for storytelling, as well as the stadium-like potential of his vocal performance. This graceful ballad features melodic and striking melodies, accentuated by a steady yet distant drum line. Stirring production drives listeners to a sense of release, where Matt’s vocals soar over the solemn string section, as well as his own warm and subtle vocal harmonies.
