Matt Taylor is a pioneer of Blues in Australia his band The Bay City Union was the first Traditional Bluesband in the country. He helped invent Ozblues an original home grown way of playing Blues based music. Matt has put a show together to tell the story of how "I Remember when I was Young" came about taking in the evolution of Blues to Ozblues to Ozindigo his latest creation. This solo show will tell a unique story, how his band Chain were the catalyse for the formation of Mushroom Records how "I Remember when I was Young" came about after a 2 week fast on water alone and then was recorded in a open paddock. A more innocent time before music was taken over by giant corporations.
