About

Tex Perkins has been around for a while now, The Beasts, The Cruel Sea, The Dark
Horses, The Man In Black, T’n’T to name a few. Tex has built his reputation on a
restless sense of adventure, an ability to evolve and adapt, a dark sense of humour
and a knack for teaming up with uniquely talented players who help get the best out
of him.
Matt Walker is one such player, long established as a much-respected singer
songwriter and much sort after guitarist, he’s worked with many great people over his
30-year career.
Tex and Matt finally released the self-titled album Tex Perkins & The Fat Rubber
Band album in November 2021 which they wrote and produced together and was
followed by the band’s second album Other World in 2023.
Later in 2023 we saw The Cruel Sea’s long-awaited reunion for the 30th anniversary
tour of "The Honeymoon is Over" album. Fans rejoiced as the band returned to the
stage, delivering unforgettable performances that showcased the timeless brilliance
of their music. Amidst the excitement, Matt Walker stepping in for the late James
Cruickshank brought a fresh dynamic to the band and hinted at an exciting new
chapter yet to come.
As a duo Matt and Tex play co-written originals, well-chosen heart felt cover versions
and classics from Tex’s back catalogue (Cruel Sea, Beasts of Bourbon, The Dark
Horses etc).
Tex and Matt shows have been described by critics as often thrilling, deeply moving
and a lot of fun.
