Simba Sessions Presents: Matthew Colin, Tariro Mavondo & Wattle Lane

About Simba…

The Simba Sessions is a monthly music and poetry night curated around a theme, and a small growing community drawn together by stories and the arts. We build community and seek to hold safe spaces. Here we nurture and celebrate the creative spirit understanding that the stories that lay behind the art are often as powerful as the art itself.

Join us with for a ‘quiet night in’ to explore our stories in poetry and song in candle-lit, wine-soaked warmth. It’s always special and unique!

Theme: TBA

Matthew Colin

Castlemaine based song writer Matthew Colin brings with him the philosophy of history’s great songwriters “a song and a friend for every mile behind”.

It’ll only take listening to one or two lines to find a writer of considered craft, values nested in a time of country folk music when all that mattered was the song itself.
