The album was written on the road and features a strong connection to Aotearoa, Matt Joe Gow grew up in Dunedin in the South Island, a place with bad weather and good music, meanwhile Kerryn Fields was raised in the North Island with one hand on guitar and the other firmly upon her heart.
While long time residents of Melbourne, the Kiwi duo have captivated audiences across New Zealand and Australia with extensive touring, gracing renowned stages including the Tussock Country Music Festival, The Australian National Folk Festival, Nannup Music Festival, Cygnet Folk Festival, Illawarra Folk Festival and many more. In the last year they have played 50 + shows across Aotearoa and Australia.
Their debut single, ‘Your Heart Of Gold‘, garnered significant acclaim, debuting at #3 on the AMRAP Charts and receiving high rotation on ABC Country (Australia), as well as being featured on Country Music Television Australia and the song also earned a sync to television for an upcoming episode of ‘Brokenwood Mysteries’ in NZ.
Follow up single, ‘Love Ya Like I Can‘ emerged as a finalist for the MLT Songwriting Award at the NZ Country Music Honours and achieved high rotation on ABC Country and a feature on Country Music Television Australia. Current and forthcoming singles, ‘No Trace‘, ‘Whirlwind’ and ‘Prairie Song‘, have already earned acclaim, with ‘Whirlwind‘ winning the prestigious MLT Songwriting Award in 2023 and ‘Prairie Song’ being named a finalist for the same award.

Layered with honest songwriting and ragged instrumentation I Remember You is their true story. Equal parts uplifting and introspective, exploring themes of love, loss and the indelible marks left by the places we call home.
