A powerhouse performer with a giant, soul– filled voice and commanding
stage presence,
MATT ANDERSEN has built a formidable following the old–fashioned way —
touring worldwide and spreading his reputation through word–of–mouth. Along
the way he managed to net three Maple Blues Awards, a Memphis Blues Challenge
win, CIMA Road Gold Award certification, a European Blues Award and a JUNO Award
nomination for 2014’s Weightless.
HONEST MAN elevates Andersen to a whole new level. Blessed with a rich,
gospel soul voice and armed with a new set of songs, the songwriter found a
perfect partner–in–
crime in producer Commissioner Gordon (Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, KRS–One),
pushing himself into new territory.
No stranger to the headlining spot during summer festival season, Andersen has shared the stage and toured with Bo Diddley, Buddy Guy, Greg Allman, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Randy Bachman, Lit tle Feat, Jonny Lang, Serena Ryder and more. Expect Andersen to perform over 200 shows around the world in 2016.
