holding that high e string on an acoustic? this guys fingertips have to look like colossus' and his voice is out of this world. Come to Jersey or NY Matt!
its hard to believe that we started off in the same high school band.Now look at him,it nice to see a fellow classmate and friend do so well.very proud of u matt keep the music coming.nice to see u doing what u love most :)Happy for you
This man is pure genius! I've seen him live twice now and his is such an incredible show to see. Spread the word about this artist and help Matt get the recognition he deserves.
@jimbo9580 "Something in Between" "Second Time Around" "Live from Phoenix Theatre" theres one thats kinda hard to get called (i think) "solo sessions" the new one "coal mining blues" and a christmas album. the only one I haven't heard is the christmas album. I just picked up Coal mining Blues at a show he did in Edmonton last week. Its amazing.
@jimbo9580 Also to the CD's listed by others..... collaborations with Mike Stevens (Harmonica Wizard) called "Piggy Back" and a brand new release called "Push Record: The Banff Sessions". ALSO - a very old recording called "Live at Liberty House". "Solo at Sessions" was recorded at a club called "Sessions" in New Brunswick. Check out Busted Flat Records dot com to see commercially available titles.
@jimbo9580 And a few more notes.... 1) DVD concert available from New Brunswick Youth Orchestra page that features orchestra with Matt Andersen (e.g., Bold and Beaten video on youtube example). Something like "Blues on Boulevard" 2) Free CBC Vinyl Cafe podcasts that feature Matt Andersen as a musical guest. You may need to search last November, December 2010.
stubbyfingers.ca unfortunately I tried to buy a CD from his site, but get an error message everytime I click on the CD. I'm from the states, the southern states so this guy's talent is spreading. He is AMAZING! Would love to see him perform at the grammy's
Wonderful, wonderful. We saw him for the first time at the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival yesterday and he was the highlight for us! (There were many great people there but this guy is incredible - and very nice as well - we chatted a bit as he signed a CD for us).
I don't care what they say about his weight, are you there for his appearance or are you there to listen to some damn good music. Matt is awesome!!!! I have listened to Ain't No Sunshine all day today, I can;'t get enough. Keep up the great work Matt,
OK, I saw/heard Matt at the Calgary Folk Festival and was blown away. Bought the one CD that was available for sale. Now I'm finding him on Youtube, my space, anywhere I can find his music. Wishing I could hear him in concert again. He was in a couple of jams and they were amazing. One of the other groups on stage with him for the jam said, "Damn, I never want to follow you again!" - with good intent, paying him the compliment he deserved.
@presto1202 not true the music industry is also influenced by apperance, but what defines it is the majority of ignorant people we have in the world, medeski martin & wood were never famous, bob james, and 1000 more great players , and they started long ago, if matt wasnt fat he would be at the same place because his music is to a specific crowd, dumb people listen to whatever the media puts on their plate , and to the media is easier and cheaper to control and manipulate a T-pain
Blues has yet to catch on to main stream radio ...but thats whats so sweet about the Blues ...its ours ...not everyone's :) Keep your top 40 ...ain't got no soul anyways. Love ya Matt!
Really looking foward to him really got into this kind of music as well, Im a metal head so heavy music and hip hop is also improtant to me but theres so much talent in this genre
I watched this for the first time and I was truly moved. This is phenomenal, breathtaking. This performance inspires me to become a better musician, it reminds me exactly why I have such a passion for music; because it has the capability to be as beautiful as this, no effects or corrections, it's just truly unreal.
ive seen a lot of performers in my day and you my man are by far the best if ever seen the whole package as for an earlier comment about the industry well f^^%$k the industry talent is talent and man it flows out of you like no one else amen to you big guy
@freakyfreakywack718 you wouldnt know shit if you stepped in it, this man is amazingly talented, voice, guitar, performance, dig the shit outta your ears and listen again!
@airmancanada That's what's great about music. The composer gives you a basic framework for a song to work with, and it is up to the artist to interpret it as they see fit to make music. Not everybody is going to like his interpretation of this song.
Tonight is THE night that Matt Anderson will ring in the NEW YEAR in Halifax Nova Scotia. Wish I could hop on a plane to catch his act. Where is Halifax Nova Scotia anyway?
