TO LAUNCH HIS NEW CD, COAL MINING BLUES
Ottawa concert at Centrepointe Theatre set for Friday, October 28, as the singer/guitarist heads east midway through his 40-date tour…
Matt Andersen, the acclaimed singer-songwriter and guitarist from New Brunswick, has had the busiest year of his career. It’s included a six-day blues cruise around the Caribbean, two shows at Britain’s massive Glastonbury Festival, and 14 major Canadian folk, jazz or blues festivals. He played nearly 100 other shows from the Maritimes to Vancouver Island, and two tours supporting the CBC’s Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Café concerts. He also toured American cities with the Old Crow Medicine Show.
And now, in support of a brand new CD that was released September 20, he’s in the midst of a tour that’ll take him to nine provinces. So far, 40 concerts have been confirmed and almost all the shows in Western Canada were sold out in advance.
An Ottawa-area show for Matt Andersen, with Old Man Luedecke as special guest, has been set for Friday, October 28, at the Centrepointe Theatre (off Baseline Road, between Woodroofe and Greenbank Road).

New CD expected to be major seller
Andersen’s career is expected to move upward with the release of his latest CD. Coal Mining Blues was recorded at drummer Levon Helm’s Woodstock NY studios. Produced by Nashville-based Canadian guitarist Colin Linden, the record includes performances by Garth Hudson, the former keyboard player with The Band and singer Amy Helm. The CD is on Ontario-based Busted Flat Records, distributed by F.A.B.
Hailing from New Brunswick, Andersen is known for his larger-than-life showmanship that has earned him a fervent and steadfast fan base. His sprawling blues, roots and rock music hybrid has gained him multiple East Coast Music Awards and an international reputation.
The moment this tour ends on November 24 in Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Andersen sets off on a month-long tour in Australia — his first trip down under.
