Japanese-born Montz Matsumoto‘s banjo and voice have entertained Australian audiences in festivals, venues, local markets and streets for almost 20 years. Montz and his band Voicestrings will showcase his new album Missing Home. The audience will experience many mesmerizing moments of tranquillity, excitement, affinity, and innovation.

This is the concert to showcase the music from Montz’s 3rd Album Missing Home. The album is a collection of Bluegrass, Celtic and Montz’s original Japanese songs and instrumentals which takes you through many mesmerizing moments of foot-tapping rhythm and virtuosic improvisations and tranquillizing melodies. All the musicians in this project have a wide range of musical backgrounds and experiences.

North Carolinian bass player Ross Sermons toured all over the US and has experienced almost all kinds of American music. Huon-based flautist Elisse Kleiner has been experimenting with a wide music horizon like folk, Brazilian, and contemporary music after she studied classical music and performed with the Melbourne Symphony. Paddy Montgomery on guitar and bouzouki is one of the most demanded instrumentalists in the Australian acoustic music scene who is very fluent in Celtic, Bluegrass, Greek and Middle Eastern traditional music. Cloudy Davey has been singing all around the Barossa Valley, SA.
