Matt Corby Draws Jeff Buckley Comparisons At Bluesfest

Staff Writer

All the action from day two

More Bluesfest Bluesfest Profile

Bluesfest enjoyed a very strong second day yesterday, with international soul singer Joss Stone, guitar maestro Buddy Guy and indie crooner Matt Corby among the highlights.

Corby especially impressed The Music's reviewer Cameron Warner, who noted that very big things are on the cards for the local singer-songwriter if he continues along his current path.

"The ARIA award winning Resolution brought down the house as did closer Brother and Corby seems about one or two albums off being an international superstar of Jeff Buckley proportions," Warner observed.
