Experience the magic of Stevie's voice, Lindsey's guitar riffs, Christine's sultry lyrics, and Mick's legendary drumming in this must-see show.
As an artist, Wendy Matthews has an expressive voice that never fails to move those who hear it. Her music is an unhurried journey of clean melodies, infectious energy and simple grace. In an age where uber-production techniques are thought to be hip and cynicism an attribute, Wendy has proven that commitment to beauty is still not only valid but applauded by the public ear.
This is exemplified by the reality that Wendy’s music is now in more than 1 million homes in Australia and all her albums to date have multi-platinum status. She has an immense talent and capacity to capture and define a diverse range of styles in her music. Wendy takes songs from every genre and makes them her own; from jazz to blues, from rock to gospel, from soul to outright infectious pop and then of course, there are the beautiful ballads.
Wendy is adept at reaching both frenetic youth and mature audiences alike, if older ears are captured by her soul and unfazed class, a more cynical youth is convinced by her disarming ease of delivery, wooed by a voice of stunning emotive capacity yet void of sentimentality.
Born in Montreal Canada, Wendy joined her first band and left home as a teenager, busking her way across the USA to Los Angeles where she met Glenn Shorrock who invited her to tour with him in Australia in 1982.
Wendy immediately became an in-demand session singer, appearing on many commercial jingles and backing vocals for the likes of The Models' 'Out Of Mind Out Of Sight' and became a semi-permanent member of the band. She also sang on albums by 'Jimmy Barnes', 'Tim Finn', 'Richard Clapton' and 'Icehouse'.
In 1987, Wendy collaborated with Kate Ceberano on the ABC-TV soundtrack for the series Stringer. 'You’ve Always Got the Blues' was released the next year reaching the Top 5 national charts, she then contributed to the Rockmelons and Peter Blakeley’s respective albums. She helped form 'Absent Friends' and sang on the number one hit 'I Don’t Want To Be With Nobody But You' and the album 'Here’s Looking Up Your Address'.
After touring with 'Absent Friends', Wendy went into the studio to record her solo debut. The album 'Émigré' (Double Platinum) spawned the hits 'Token Angels', 'Lets Kiss' and 'Woman’s Gotta Have It' and earned Wendy the 'Best Female Artist' and 'Best Debut Single (for Token Angels)' at the 1990 'ARIA Awards'. Wendy was also voted 'Best Female Singer' in the 1990 'Rolling Stone' Reader’s Poll.
