Matt Andersen

When Matt Andersen steps on stage, he brings a lifetime of music to every note he plays. 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 moving performances that run the gamut from intimate to wallshaking. In addition to headlining major festivals, clubs and theatres throughout North America, Europe, and Australia, Matt 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. His 2023 album Matt Andersen & The Big Bottle of Joy was nominated for a Juno Award in 2024 and his multi-faceted and poignant body of work has accumulated over 33 million streams on Spotify and 30 million views on YouTube. Although best known as a blues singer, Matt has been known to pop up onstage with The Men of the Deeps, and his folkier side comes through on his latest album, The Hammer & The Rose.
