MATT MINGLEWOOD
Songs & Stories
Hailing from Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, blues, rock, country, Celtic and Cajun are all musical threads that weave their way through the songs of Canadian blues legend. Forty years of touring, recording and surviving in the music business ensure that those songs tell stories filled with the humor and earthy reality of life on the road. Matt's performance not only showcases great music but also that wonderful heartfelt "down to earth bearer of good will and good times" hospitality for which the Maritimes is justly famous. Songs & Stories features songs from his various recordings & showcases songs from his award winning latest CD 'The Story' and premiers songs from his upcoming cd including the song "Kandahar'. We'd like you to come out and celebrate with us. Come hear the songs, enjoy the stories and wash your soul in a great evening out.
I encourage you to attend this performance and share in the life of a true Canadian Legend!
