Matty Rogers is getting ready to dial it up and make some serious noise at the Agnes Blues, Roots, & Rock Festival in February 2026 with the full force of his fun-filled, four-piece band and music from the heart.
Northern Rivers based Matty Rogers doesn’t play music so much as he becomes possessed by it; a conduit for the musical muse. He taps into the depths of his heart and weaves it into a dynamic musical experience of Americana blues-rock drenched in soul.
Renowned for his authenticity in both songwriting and performance, this passionate singer-songwriter approaches his craft from a place of pure vulnerability, a quality that garners him fans of the diehard variety.
“I want people to feel like they aren’t alone, that someone else is going through the same thing. To fully let go and come out feeling healed and ready to take on the world.” says Matty.
Matty explores themes of love, unity, acceptance, and the raw, real pain of human existence in his lyrics.
In his solo formation, this one-man band can make some serious noise. Matty doesn’t go far without his full setup, including a kick, snare, acoustic and lead guitar, topped off with his trademark whisky-soaked vocals.
When things need dialing up, The Matty Rogers Band is the ultimate rocking quartet featuring Jarrah Kurth on drums and backing vox, Corey Pryor on keyboards and backing vox, Lockey Buggy on bass and backing vox, and the man himself on guitar and lead vox. The four-piece is known for their strong chemistry and infectious, fun-filled stage presence.
One song into the set and you’ll see why this talented cohort has long been in demand for some of Australia’s biggest stages, including Bluesfest (showcase and Buskers Stage), Falls Festival, Airlie Beach Festival, Mitchell Creek, Blues on Broadbeach and some particularly memorable times at Tamworth Country Music Festival.
Get ready for the full force and Festival fun of The Matty Rogers Band as they bring home the #AgnesBluesFest Marquee Stage in spellbinding style from 2.30-4pm on Sunday, 22 February 2026. You won’t be able to resist their infectious grooves and unforgettable finish to an epic weekend of live music in paradise.
