Mat Day - Blues

Mat Day is one of the UK’s most exciting emerging blues guitar forces, carving out a sound that blends the power of blues, the sophistication of jazz and the energy of modern roots music.

A longtime guitarist for award-nominated songwriter and producer Greg Coulson, Mat has earned a reputation as a player who brings serious fire to the stage. His influences span Robben Ford, Marcus King, Miles Davis and John Coltrane, creating a distinctive sound.

From headline shows at The Bear Club, Tuesday Night Music Club Coulsdon and Teignmouth Jazz & Blues, Mat has been winning audiences over with his explosive guitar playing, soulful grooves and mesmerising live presence.

When established artists need a guitarist who can deliver, Mat is already in high demand. His credits include work with Alice Armstrong, Billy Lockett, The Blockheads and Will Wilde, alongside his ongoing work with Greg Coulson.

That momentum was recognised in 2026 when Mat was nominated in the Top 20 Emerging Artists at the UK Blues Awards.

With a guitar in his hands and a sound built on soul, groove and serious musicianship, Mat Day is an artist firmly on the rise.
