This is a Christmas special done right. Armed with his signature room-shaking, heart-quaking voice, Matt Andersen will have you feeling festive and joyous for an evening filled with holiday favourites and some surprises!

The Music - Matt Anderson

Celebrated songwriter Matt Andersen’s music covers all the essential elements of a down-home ramble and his songs contain enough electrifying energy to drive the rock ‘n’ roll faithful to simmer, shimmy, and shake. His latest album explores every facet of his sound - sweat-soaked soul, incendiary rhythm and blues, heartbroken folk, and gritty Americana - and binds them together with palpable heart. It should come as no surprise that such a commanding performer has built a record that’ll make you dance uncontrollably, weep unashamedly, and fill up any dark spots in your soul with a blast of sonic light. Andersen’s Christmas special will use these qualities to make this holiday season one you won’t forget.

“I usually write about things I’ve observed or experienced,” he said. “For me, it’s got to have something real in it, or it would be tough singing it night after night. For the blues, you’ve got to be connected to it.” - Matt Andersen
