Matt Andersen is a powerhouse performer with a giant, soul-filled voice and commanding stage presence. He’s built a formidable following the old-fashioned way: touring worldwide and letting his stunned audiences and new devotees spread the word of his righteous tunes all over. The world has indeed woken up and discovered him, helping him amass over 18 million YouTube views in addition to headlining major festivals, clubs, and theatres throughout North America. He’s shared the stage with Bo Diddley, Buddy Guy, Greg Allman, Tedeschi Trucks Band and many more. Multiple Maple Blues Awards first place in solo/duo category at the International Blues Challenge and a Juno nomination have deservedly come his way in the past few years.
A new project called the Matt Andersen & the Big Bottle of Joy, a 10-piece band and recent recording that earned him 4, 2024 Maple Blues Award nominations have taken the Canadian roots music landscape by storm.
This musical tour-de-force has been amazing audiences for the past year and we are incredibly happy to be able to have Matt Andersen and the Big Bottle of Joy close the 25th Edmonton Blues Festival!
