What’s one to do when being a solo artist becomes a lonely and tiresome gig? Form a band, of course.

Well at least that’s what songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Matt Walker did. His new act, Lost Ragas, is a four-piece country and blues collaboration that oozes years of experience.

Band members Shane Reilly, Simon Burke and Roger Bergodaz have all simultaneously woked with Walker over the years, but Phantom Ride is their first album recorded together.

If you’re keen to see what all the fuss is about The Lost Regas will be teaming up with Raised By Eagles to play Coogee Diggers on Friday March 14, The Factory Floor on Saturday March 15, and the Grand Junction Hotel on Sunday March 16.
