Matt Dolphin (his real name) is a singer, writer and visual artist based in Kent, UK.
“Powerful and moving…stark, desolate and downcast, yet oddly life-affirming at the same time” (album review, Sounds XP website)
Matt’s melancholic croon and wayward yet self-assured songcraft recall Nick Drake, Lee Hazlewood, Nick Cave and Jeff Buckley. He has performed and recorded extensively as a solo artist, and previously played with Joe Murphy (AKA maverick singer-songwriter Sergeant Buzfuz) in North London experimentalists Bedlam Opera as well as wielding banjo for country/pop/gospel outfit Reverend Casy.
“One to keep an eye on – he may be Kent’s answer to Richard Hawley!”
(Helen Tipping, Penny Black online music magazine)
