Matt Joe Gow and Kerryn Fields announce the release of their debut collaborative album I Remember You out May 3rd.
The album was written on the road and features a strong connection to Aotearoa/New Zealand. Matt Joe Gow grew up in Dunedin in the South Island, a place with bad weather and good music, meanwhile Kerryn Fields was raised in the North Island with one hand on guitar and the other firmly upon her heart.
While long time residents of Melbourne, the Kiwi duo have captivated audiences across New Zealand and Australia with extensive touring. The pair are masters of their craft and have multiple awards between them: Matt Joe Gow’s Between Tonight and Tomorrow won Music Victoria’s Best Country Album 2023, while Kerryn Field’s Water won Music Victoria’s Best Folk Album 2022.
Having discovered a natural chemistry as performers, the union of their songwriting enables them to explore new depths in their music. The album’s new single ‘Whirlwind’, a powerful anthem for breaking the chains of generational family violence, earnt the prestigious MLT Songwriting Award at the 2023 NZ Country Music Honors.
