Matt Malone is an iconoclastic singer-songwriter hailing from the goldfields of Victoria, Australia. Known for his commanding baritone and tenebrous lyricism—often likened to Jim Morrison, Glenn Danzig, and Johnny Cash—Malone has carved out a cult following through his intense, magnetic live performances.
He’s shared stages with icons such as Kim Salmon (Beasts of Bourbon) and Hugo Race (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds), performing both nationally and abroad. His 2023 releases For The Term Of My Natural Life (VRS Records) and Made In The Image earned critical acclaim, with his version of the blues classic I’m Bad Like Jesse James endorsed and shared by the John Lee Hooker estate.
Joined by swing stickman James W. du Plessis on drums and cowbell, Matt Malone & The Holy Spirits channel a potent blend of delta blues, outlaw country, and post-punk spiritualism—delivering live shows that feel as much ritual as rock ’n’ roll.
