MATT ANDERSEN is a stirringly soulful singer and powerhouse performer with a giant voice and righteous tunes. With just his voice and guitar he has a commanding stage presence. Matt has built a formidable following the old-fashioned way; touring worldwide and letting his stunned audiences and new devotees spread the good word. Such tracks as “Let’s Get Back”, “Honest Man”, “I’m Giving In”, “Break Away”, “So Gone Now” and “Last Surrender” have stirred a global awakening helping him amass over 18 million views on YouTube.

A headliner in his own right, Matt has also shared the stage and toured with Bo Diddley, Buddy Guy, Greg Allman, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Randy Bachman, Little Feat, Jonny Lang, Serena Ryder, and more.

As for accolades, MATT ANDERSEN has them aplenty. He nabbed the European Blues Award for Best Solo/Acoustic Act (2013, 2016), three Maple Blues Awards in 2012, and was the first ever Canadian to take home top honours in the solo/duo category at the 2010 International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Since the release of “Weightless” (2014), Andersen has received a JUNO nomination for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year, a CIMA Road Gold Award, and six Maple Blues Awards for Male Vocalist of the Year.
