Matt Andersen
When Matt Andersen steps on
stage, he brings a lifetime of music to every note he plays. His latest album,
The Big Bottle of Joy, is all about hard-won celebration; a dozen
songs infused with raw blues-rock, rollicking Americana, thoughtful folk,
and ecstatic gospel. Andersen's stage presence is informed by decades of
cutting his teeth in dusty clubs, dim-lit bars, and grand theatres all
over the world, delivering soulful performances that run the gamut from
intimate to wall-shaking. In the studio, he's always brought the same attention
to detail and commitment to craft as he has to his live show, and the
result-a multi-faceted and poignant body of work-has led him to amass over 23
million streams on Spotify and 26 million views on YouTube. In addition to
headlining major festivals, clubs and theatres throughout North America, Europe
and Australia, he has shared the stage and toured with Marcus King, Beth
Hart, Marty Stuart, Greg Allman, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Randy Bachman,
Jonny Lang, Serena Ryder, and more. Andersen nabbed the 2013 and 2016 European
Blues Awards for Best Solo/Acoustic Act, was the first ever Canadian to
take home top honours in the solo category at the 2010 International Blues
Challenge in Memphis, won the CIMA Road Gold award in 2015, and has won
multiple Maple Blues Awards.
