Freaky Little One Man Blues Band. Delta groove blues slide guitar.
MATT CORCORAN. GROOVE BLUES. THE NEW SOUND OF BLUES.
AUSTRALIA'S HOTTEST NEW BLUES SLIDE GUITAR PLAYER.
The Freaky Little One Man Blues Band
Matt Corcoran plays lap steel slide guitar as well as drums and percussion with his hands and feet, harmonica, and vocals: ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Featured on his new album "Matt Corcoran. LIVE".
Matt Corcoran samples various instruments and sounds, LIVE, and then loops and interlayers them to form hypnotic blues and roots grooves. He does this by recording real drums (kick, tambourines, hi-hat, bongos, and percussion), and playing a multitude of instruments and effects: from harmonica to Jew's harp to vocals.
"...Matt Corcoran sounds like a cross between John Lee Hooker, Rl Burnside, and Ben Harper..."
"...Matt Corcoran is Australia's' answer to the American Fat Possum Records sound..."

Hakkımızda Matt Corcoran. Freaky Lil One Man Blues Band
Matt's fourth album "LIVE" . This is Matt's new long awaited LIVE album featuring "The Freaky Lil One Man Blues Band" and contains a hand-picked selection of live tracks from Matt's own personal archive of LIVE recordings. All the tracks were recorded LIVE in the crowd at the Australian Blues Music Festival 2004 (Sat night. Goulburn Workers Club. 1500 people) and Narooma Blues Festival 2003 (the Big Tent. 2500-3000 people). With special guests Chris Wilson, Benny Owen and Phil King.
Matt plays slide guitar on his lap, and drums with his feet. His guitar is set up to produce an acoustic, electric, and bass guitar sound, and is linked to a device that allows Matt to record and loop grooves (live on stage) and play along as if it were a backing band. Matt's act is often referred to as the "freaky Little One Man Blues Band!".
"....there are no backing tapes, sequencers, or midi discs players, just parts of my playing sampled or recorded and repeated in loops behind my foot drums and lead playing. The effect is quite raw and hypnotic. You can actually see me recording certain things live. I do that with my feet also!....."
Matt sounds like a cross between John Lee Hooker and Ben Harper, with a lot of RL Burnside, a bit of George Thorogood, a piece of Bukka White, and snippets of Fred McDowell. All this blended together forms a Delta Groove Blues sound that makes you want to dance and tap your feet.

The Weekly CD Buyer’s Guide

Mixdown, Melbourne
… hard word and serious slide guitar, a sound Corcoran works with ease, both clean and distorted.
The Age, Melbourne
…. will drop any hard core blues critic with an intensity of natural talent most blues fans are itching to see and hear. Matt has the ability with his instrument to get inside you.
Darrel Bair, Internet Reviewer
… Matt Corcoran is a gifted songwriter with a surprising, sometimes alarming, turn of phrase…Play this loud in your car at your own risk. You have been warned!…go and see this angry young man!
Rhythms Magazine, Australia
… You can hear all Corcoran’s emotion embodied in his latest album … Passion flows through his guitar and his vocals.
Forte Magazine, Geelong
… Matt plays lap slide guitar “harder than your husband” (to Zappa a phrase). So hang on and enjoy the ride!
The Ghost, 3TR FM, Melbourne
… The overall impression is power and energy to burn and Corcoran’s searing screeching slide guitar dominates throughout.
