Matt Andersen – The Vogue – February 18, 2016
New Brunswick artist, Matt Andersen is on tour across North America. Starting in Duncan, and Victoria, the third stop of the Honest Man tour made its way to The Vogue Theatre in Vancouver last week.
Being new to Andersen’s music, I didn’t really know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by the sweet, gentle sounds the guitarist and his trio of back up artists produced onstage. The Juno nominated artist is regularly on the road and the experience shows. The enthusiasm from the diverse audience, all-ages from infants to seniors, feels like they’ve been with him on his career journey. The evening felt like a Maritimer’s kitchen party with old friends gathered around a guitar playing host. Over the course of the ninety minute set, Andersen played a selection from his catalogue of blues/rock/folk infused tunes, both solo and with his backing band, each of them successful solo artists in their own right.
Touring in support of his upcoming album, Honest Man (due February 26th), the tour takes him across North America until mid-May, if you get the chance, see him.
