  • DIRECTOR reminds me of that kid that never got out of 4th grade.

  • @earnhardtsbuddy Dissapointing. I was rooting for ya to come up with something a little more clever than that.

  • 5:55 reminds me of that one time i learned how not to use a mic echo.

  • 5:55 sounds like a 4th grade science expeiement titled "where echoes come from".

  • 5:55 sounds like the George of the Jungle call

  • Dammit.. Is this guy in iTunes?? need MOAR.

  • geeze Matt do you want to try and commit to the song next time? :P

  • MATT!!! I'D DIE FOR YOU!!!!

    Great jam night dude. thanks for entertaining the shantero group!

    your voice soars!!

  • This was the first concert in which the opening act (Matt) got an encore.

  • this man has an amazing voice....

  • Amazing. 

  • THANX GUYS..I APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK.. JIMBO

  • @jimbo9580 He's got two CDs out that I'm aware of, I think he's releasing another sometime soon.

  • HAS THIS GOT ISSUED ANY C.DS ?

  • @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.

  • Damn dude mad props! You should have this song on iTunes so I can buy it! Lol keep it up

  • search for YoshiSue7 for an awesome matt anderson video

  • 3 people are soulless

  • I'm pretty sure this guy's Canadian.

  • It's like Joe Cocker made a pact with the devil because he decided his voice wasn't soulful enough... simply awesome.

  • 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.

    Yikes, how come I just heard of him?

  • Not only does he look like Hurley from LOST...

    but he is so incredible I became an instant fan. please tell me he has music out that I can download

  • Meatloaf made it.

  • really really amazing !!!!

  • why have'nt I heard about him before ????

    he's really amazing, and I'm not scared to say that he got a part of Janis Joplin's spirit.....

  • i've never been high before in my life because... who needs it when you can just get high from matt andersen's soulful, spicy music!

  • ....... word

  • amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing

  • Chills everytime I watch this. Absolutely amazing.

  • Amazing talent. Seriously, can't get enough of him after seeing him live.

    Phenomenal.

  • OMG!!! THIS DUDE IS GR8!!!!

  • music speaks louder and more profoundly than beauty. it always will, and that is why i love it. and his music is BEAUTIFUL.

  • God bless the Bourbon Street Bar Glastonbury! :-)

  • Comment removed

  • @DJStuHirst Were there any videos for the bourbon street bar, spesificly matt andersen and top shelf jazz

  • This is the best cover i've ever heard!!!

  • Another Great Artist from the east coast

  • Comment removed

  • @tjessmx You might want to rephrase that one as follows: "Another Great Artist from NEW BRUNSWICK!!!"

  • Awesome!!!

    

  • oh my god

  • GO MATT!!!! some people listen with their ears still.

  • Goosebumps!! I can't stop listening!

  • Probably the best singer of the last decades.

  • if you dislike,, you have no taste in music,,MATT ROCKS !!

  • ""OUTSTANDING"" He deserves a BIG Contract Some one needs to sign this Guy Real Quick,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • @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

  • stunning

    

  • amazing

  • Meat Loaf today, this guy's got passion and expresses it!!

  • <3

  • Omg,your Voice is PORNO and very nice.I love this Song with your Voice .Greetings from Germany

  • This man's voice is haunting. He does a beautiful personalization of one of my favourite songs.

  • i seen him live in a small town called Elgin, sent chilles down my spine

    

  • still get chills listening to this was fortunate to see Matt play at the Burlington Sound Of Music festival last year

  • Matt inspired me to play two extra instruments. What a soul seeker. He brings the spirit in all of us. GO Matt!!!!

  • Damn, He's good!

  • 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!

    Hambone~

  • Do you ppl even realize how many blues awards Matt has won!

    Do your research before you talk smack...

  • Two people suffer from right-sightedness and mis-clicked.

  • @ZWDrix Oh look, a joke about people who clicked dislike. How original.

  • KYLE GAS?

  • @rosenfurger with hair!

  • @rosenfurger Matt is already popular and will remain so.

  • Raw and Powerful

  • Now that is how you sing! Matt is ammmazing!

    We are proud of you Matt!

    Love from the East Coast! xo

  • I've seen him last summer at Tremblant's Blues festival; he was awesome! Hoping that he'll be back this summer too!

  • Unbelievably good singing with sublime guitar playing. Absolutely outstanding.

  • wow, thats raw talent. I Can't stop watching this!

  • he sold his soul...no doubt

  • 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.

  • f*ck mainsteam media...it robs me from hearing real talent.

  • @daniyellowjello I've turned my radio and television off for more than 15 years. It gives me time to go out, live life and discover real talent!

  • @Irene00007 youre on the internet. LOL.

  • @ChallengersDeep True but here, I get to pick and choose what I want to see and hear!

  • @Irene00007 i hear ya. but be careful! the internet is a scary place, mainly for sad teenagers!

  • @ChallengersDeep Well, I'm neither sad nor a teenager so I guess I'm safe...

  • @daniyellowjello hello... use Firefox... it's a lot better then internet explorer!!!

    martin

  • @martinbertrand1 ?? lol wut? I use chrome

  • Talent trumps looks again. Why haven't I heard of this man? Oh yeah the media is a beauty contest...

  • Agree with presto. There's lots of talent on Idol but his guy has a presence that surpasses them all.

  • Em portugues: Canta pra caralho!

  • Da chills!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 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

  • just love his voice! why is he not known more?

  • whatever,,,,,, about the look! Play the music adn live your dream, fuck those who judge!

  • shame he's so big,,, cuz he's gonna hit famous he might be one of those dudes who is soo damn good but too good to live long

  • @shawnyboie This is immortal so it doesn't matter and I'm sure that's the last thing on this man's mind.

  • That's killer. Brilliant interpretation of a fabulous song!

  • so poignant....he reminds me of a big ole hound dog baying at the moon ( in a good way !)

  • Ok he has good gutiar skills but in my opinion he is just ruining the melody and flow of the song

  • @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.

  • this guys just great 

  • 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?

  • @adartseziurleinad East coast of Canada

  • 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?
