I’m taking some time off this month to head into the studio. I’m pretty excited to be recording some new tunes. Steve Berlin is on board as producer. Steve has produced some of my favourite albums. I can’t wait to hear how it all turns out.

In November I’m making my way over to Europe to play some shows in Switzerland, Denmark and The Netherlands, then wrapping up that run with a few shows in the UK. Lots of new places on this run and a few familiar haunts. It’s going to be cool to check out Denmark, the land of my people.

Check out the tour dates and see if I’m close by, or if you’ve got some folks you know who may be into the show, send ‘em my way.

Oh, and keep your eyes posted here on my site for the announcement of my tour dates to release the new album.

See you on the road,
Matt

In a couple of weeks I’ll be rolling through NB with my big band (cheeky wink). I’m doing a short run of shows with Symphony New Brunswick. These fundraising performances will help support SNB musicians through better rehearsal spaces and more rehearsal time.

Sept. 23 @ Capitol Theatre – Moncton, NB
Sept. 24 @ The Playhouse – Fredericton, NB
Sept. 25 @ The Imperial – Saint John, NB

These kinds of shows are always a lot of fun. Nothing more powerful than a full string section behind ya. Visit the tour page for tickets & info.

C’mon out!

I’m thrilled to announce that when I hit the road in the spring with my new album I will be performing at Massey Hall in Toronto on March 1st.

Tickets go on sale this week through MasseyHall.com and here at my site.

Check out the this promo clip from the folks at Massey for the upcoming season. Hairy bugger siting at 1:25.

For you True Blood types, my song “Fired Up” is going to be in the show this Sunday on HBO.

Fired Up appears on Coal Mining Blues, available on iTunes here or from Busted Flat Records here.

Over the last couple of months I’ve made some changes that are set to move things onwards and upwards. As a result of that we’ve made some changes to my home page to make sure that it is the place to go for anything you need to know about where I’ve been, where I’m at and where I’m going to be.

I’m just home from a great run in the UK and am currently making my way back and forth across North America for the next couple of months. Take a look at my tour dates and see if I’ll be taking a stage near you.

Enjoy the summer days.

See you on the road,

Matt
