MATT ANDERSEN LIVE AT OLYMPIC HALL

Andersen’s well-earned word-of-mouth reputation is backed up by two European Blues Awards, a Juno nomination for Roots & Traditional Album of The Year, 6 Maple Blues Awards for Male Vocalist of the year and over 10 million views on YouTube. With Live At Olympic Hall, Andersen’s thunderous, one-of-a-kind voice is joined by his superbly talented friends from the 10-piece band, The Mellotones.

TRUE NORTH

ANA EGGE WHITE TIGER

White Tiger features wind, string, and vocal arrangements by multi-instrumentalist/ producer Alec Spiegelman (Cuddle Magic) and guest appearances by Anais Mitchell, Billy Strings, Alex Hargreaves, and Buck Meek (Big Thief). Like the tiger in the title song, Egge, herself, is near-miraculous, rare but real; and as Lucinda Williams said, “Listen to her lyrics. Ana is the folk Nina Simone.”
