BACKFENCE Unhinged

EPISODE 06: Matt Sheehy 

Writer and frontman for Lost lander Matt Sheehy and creator of the genius BACKFENCE Unhinged music tells a story of being a teenager longing for the promises of a big city while feeling a little stuck in the vastness of Alaska. He hops on an opportunity to get his first big taste of city life all the way in Australia! Find out how his new adventure goes and how employing a tear-squirtingly funny Australian accent misfires and unexpectedly changes the way Matt feels about himself and his homeland.
