Remember these names?

The latest season of The Voice has been reintroducing Australia to some familiar talent and last night's episode has done it again. 

Sunday's episode saw some more accomplished songwriters compete in the Blind Auditions, including Matt Gresham

The WA-born artist was one of many Aussie artists who performed at SXSW back in 2016, alongside the likes of Gang Of Youths, DMA'S, DD Dumbo, DZ Deathrays and Stonefield, which scored him a record deal with Warner Germany.

As well as a stint on The X Factor and some WAM Award nominations (as well as Blues/Roots Song Of The Year in 2015), Gresham took out first place in the International Songwriting Competition's Unpublished category in 2017 with his track, Survive On Love.


Following his performance of Lewis Capaldi's Bruises, which saw all judges except Boy George turn their chairs, Gresham opted to join Delta Goodrem's team.

Meanwhile on the same episode, fellow WA artist Matt Evans, who fronts local rock outfit Atlas Chasers, and Janie Gordon, who featured on the 2017 NYE On The Hill festival line-up, also joined team Delta.


Local musical theatre actress Kirby Burgess also made it through the Blind Auditions stage with her performance of Liza Minnelli's Maybe This Time.

As well as being a recipient of the ASCAP Broadway Musical Theatre Scholarship in New York, Burgess has performed in local stage productions of Dirty Dancing, Barnum - The Circus Musical and last year's Bring It On: The Musical.

As TV Tonight reports, 1.03 million viewers tuned into the Sunday night episode.
