For the majority of rock music fans here in Australia, at some point over the last decade or so, you are bound to have heard, read, or seen Joe Matera? As lead guitarist with Aussie rockers Geisha during their re-emergence during 2007 to 2010 or as founding member of classic rock band Double Vision between 2003 to 2008. As a highly respected music journalist since 1999, Joe has had over 900 articles published in magazines all over the world ranging from Metal Hammer, Classic Rock, Australian Guitar, Total Guitar, Performing Musician, Guitar & Bass…the list goes on! Well that’s all well and good as a reference point, but importantly in the here and now, Joe has recently released an instrumental guitar EP titledSlave To The Fingers featuring four tracks that equally showcase Joe’s abilities as a guitarist and songwriter alike.
In September, Joe is heading over to Europe and the UK to play a series of shows, here’s the tour dates below…
Sat. Sept 29, 2-12 – The Alma Inn, Bolton, UK
We also recently chatted with Joe about the level of interest being shown in the EP already from all corners of the world, as well as having legendary guitarists such as Rick Brewster (The Angels) and Mick McConnell (Smokie) contributing guest solos on Slave To The Fingers.
