Nathan JollyHOST
I'm your host Nathan Jolly, and my guest today is Matt Walker.
Nathan JollyHOST
Matt has collaborated with Tex Perkins for the past 15 years on a number of projects, but their new album together, Before the Show, is the first time that they have recorded in duo mode.
Nathan JollyHOST
It's basically an acoustic, and a voice, and another voice, And they are touring in that mode all around Australia at the moment.

He even had a veteran Australian rocker, Tex Perkins, put on a big show.
David StringerGUEST
So he's celebrating his 80th birthday, and instead of winding down and reflecting on a successful career, he's thinking about, what are the next steps? How can I push this industry? And you know, on the day I visited his shipyard, you know, he pulled his, his white Tesla Model S into the, uh, you know, into the facility well before 8:00 AM, you know, it's still dark outside, and spent much of the day sort of poring over blueprints and plans and talking incredibly enthusiastically about the future, about what he wanted to do in terms of expansion, to build more boats, to build them faster.
David StringerGUEST
You know, and what else he could do to, to innovate and really drive the ferry sector forward.
