Matt Dent Solo, Duo, Band Covers Singer & Guitarist, Canberra, ACT.

Firstly, I’d like to let you know that my main aim is to create a fantastic atmosphere for your clients with very well-performed live music as well as the odd joke and general banter with the crowd.

I’ve spent the last 15 years of my life playing in pubs and clubs throughout regional New South Wales and I love it.
I love the people, the pub atmosphere and I love getting in there and having a good time and really giving the patrons a night to remember.

Matt Opened for Kate Ceberano in 2020.

Matt is renowned for creating a fantastic atmosphere with well-performed live music, covering a spectrum of well-known songs, from easy listening to upbeat and “danceable”.

He is an accomplished guitarist and cover musician but is also a well-known, original songwriter with his latest release, Stories, now receiving airplay on local radio. However, playing cover music is his main line of work if that’s what is required.

Matt Dent Testimonials

Australian Government Gig!

“Matt was a pleasure to have at our staff Christmas party- he is a truly talented musician. He was very
professional – arrived early, set up and started playing with no hassles. The music was loud enough to create a great atmosphere but not too loud that people could still have a conversation.
He listened to what we wanted and made it his own – we would highly recommend him for any social or corporate event. We look forward to getting Matt back to our next function!”

I heard Matt playing at Southside Markets and I instantly knew I wanted him to play at our wedding.
He was an absolute joy to work with, and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a cool laid-back vibe for their event and/or space… Think beers in the sun, good food and laughs shared with friends.

It’s music you recognize but with his own unique style.
Definitely worth checking out if you see his name around.
