“Matt Anderson is New Brunswick’s larger than life showman, real and rocking acoustic blues who never fails to impress!”
Matt Andersen describes himself as a big man with a big voice. There's no doubt he plays guitar and sings the blues with an authority that belies his youthful age. Matt hails from New Brunswick but has spent a lot of time on the road, most recently last fall touring across Canada with Stuart McLeans’ Vinyl Cafe when he received a standing ovation in Victoria. Matt Andersen has an enigmatic personality that, coupled with a larger-than-life showmanship, has been earning him a fervent and steadfast audience. Matt's sprawling blues, roots and rock hybrid, and his enormous soulful voice have sparked phenomenal grass roots word-of-mouth buzz across the country. Matt’s most recent CD Something in Between was released in 2008.
“Wil has so much power and soul it could stop your heart!”
Opening the evening will be singer, songwriter and guitarist, Wil who is a consummate touring musician developing his expansive roots-rock sound and world-weary lyricisms while building a dedicated following for his famously intense live shows. Wil brings to mind contemporary artists ranging from Paul Simon to David Gray. He spent the winter of 2009 at home in Qualicum Beach writing the songs for his just released third studio album In this Together.
