It was the start of 2020 when Robert’s third LP, the critically-acclaimed ‘In This Town You’re Owned’, was released by Thirty Tigers and walked straight into a worldwide pandemic. Despite stalled promotional plans and tours, the record resonated enough to win the Americana Music Association UK’s ‘Album Of The Year’ award for 2021. Receiving critical acclaim, the record also charted at number 2 in the UK Americana Charts and American Songwriter Magazine named ‘In this Town You’re Owned’ in its top 20 albums (every genre) of 2020. “I had to try to take the positives as an artist’ Robert says when recalling the experience of lockdown. “I hadn’t had any time off from performing in many years and that gave me a bit of a reset…but I’m now looking ahead to a successful year and excited to be playing new songs to people”. It was Vincent’s powerful and soulful voice that attracted acolytes such as Bob Harris, Paul Carrack and Mary Chapin Carpenter. In 2016, Harris awarded Robert with his ‘Emerging Artist’ of the year award at the inaugural UK Americana Awards show describing Vincent as “absolutely magnetic” and “the real deal”. In 2018 following the release of ‘I’ll Make The Most Of My Sins’ (AMAUK Album of The Year 2018) Robert was invited to perform on the BBC ‘Old Grey Whistle Test, For One Night Only’ closing the show. It was this performance that would propel him to number 1 and 2 in the iTunes Album and Singles Charts. Maintaining his status as one of the most acclaimed voices in the UK Americana scene, Robert’s new songs represent a left turn for an artist who is ready for something more.  The new album “has more of a concise sound,” Robert says. “The songs arrived throughout 2022 and are born from personal experiences, rather than the social commentary of the last album. This is a very intimate set of tunes.” The record has captured said intimacy. Robert’s core band (Anna Corcoran on piano, vocals; Jim Kimberley, drums; Danny Williams, bass; Adrian Gautrey, guitar, keys) gathered under the eye of engineer Jon Withnall (Coldplay, I Am Kloot) and performed the music live in the studio. With the fantastic addition of featured guitarist Joe Coombs and award winning producer Ethan Johns (Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, Ray Lamontagne, Laura Marling) once again mixing the album. Johns, also a gifted instrumentalist, has added extra drums, percussion, guitar as well as bringing his unmistakable creative flare to the mixing process. Robert continues to tour extensively showing his versatility as both a solo performer and with a full band. Notable performances include 2023 Celtic Connections at Glasgow Theatre Royal with Mary Chapin Carpenter, showcase performances at Americana Fest in Nashville, Tennessee, supporting Roger Waters at Hyde Park, Tours with Paul Carrack and Duane Eddy who gifted him with one of his signature ‘Gretsch’ guitars after his 80th birthday celebration at The London Palladium.

From large festivals to boutique gatherings, from supporting Chris Isaak to Justin Townes Earle, Matt Joe Gow has built a reputation as an earnest performer to go alongside the authentic Alt country tones. Also a producer and consistent songwriting collaborator, Matt grew up in the deep south of New Zealand in a town with bad weather and good music: Dunedin. Surrounded by music, he was encouraged to pick up a guitar at an early age. After traveling the world, Matt moved to Melbourne, Australia, drawn by its vibrant music scene. In 2009 he released his debut record The Messenger, produced by multi-Aria award-winner Nash Chambers. As Alternative Country continued to grow in popularity, Matt toured and supported acts such as Chris Isaak, Justin Townes Earle, The Jayhawks, Kasey Chambers, GrantLee Phillips, Melissa Carper and Marlon Williams.   Whilst regularly working on other projects in the studio, it would be his 2018 album Break, Rattle and Roll, an ambitious self produced sprawling Americana record which would go on to win the Music Victoria Award for Best Country Album solidifying his place on the Australian independent Country music scene.  After the rewarding but demanding process of making and touring that album, Matt headed back into the studio in 2020 with the concept of this time making a stripped-back album, however midway the world was hit by the pandemic. The result was a unique record which, although laborious to make during a dark time went on to be perhaps the most pure expression of Matt's songwriting. This album titled ’Between Tonight & Tomorrow’ in its first week of release went on to chart on the ARIA and Australian Independent Release charts, whilst garnering 5 star reviews, feature album spots and high rotation on ABC national radio. The album further went on to win the Music Victoria Award for best Country Album once again.  The critical acclaim didn’t end there however, with Matt also taking home the prestigious MLT songwriting award at the New Zealand Country Music Honours, delighting longtime fans and supporters in his home country and now in 2024 is nominated for an Aotearoa Music Award for Best Country Artist as the accolades continue to roll in for the South Island troubadour.
