Mat Tanner is a tortoise. Not literally you understand, but in the metaphorical fable sense. With the hare and the race. An emerging artist on the UK acoustic scene, Mat is winning people over slowly but surely, show by show. Combining elements of country, pop and folk, Mat is gaining momentum and is a prime example of the power of word of mouth. The start of this year saw the release of his debut recording, ‘Perfect Place…Wrong Time’, the fruition of some years of heartbreak and hard work. A collection of songs that reflects his intimate performances, ‘Perfect Place…Wrong Time’ speaks with an honesty and humour that is both recognisable and refreshing – a record that showcases a songwriting talent that has been grabbing the attention of anyone lucky enough to be there at the right time.
