MATT ANDERSEN LIVE
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 8:00PM
Presented by Durham Rock and Blues Festival Inc.
Event Sponsored by MARKET AT 70 KING
Matt Andersen returns to the Regent Theatre by popular demand in a new solo show to kick off our Second Annual Rock & Blues Festival. His last performance at the Regent was a huge success, so get your tickets now!
When Matt Andersen steps on stage, he brings a lifetime of music to every note he plays. Andersen’s stage presence is informed by decades of cutting his teeth in dusty clubs, dim-lit bars, and grand theatres all over the world, delivering soulful performances that run the gamut from intimate to wall-shaking. In the studio, he’s always brought the same attention to detail and commitment to craft as he has to his live show, and the result has led him to amass over 28 million streams on Spotify and 26 million views on YouTube.
In addition to receiving multiple awards and headlining major festivals, clubs and theatres throughout North America, Europe, and Australia, he has shared the stage and toured with Marcus King, Beth Hart, Marty Stuart, Greg Allman, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Randy Bachman, Serena Ryder, Tab Benoit, and the list goes on!

Matt Andersen nabbed the 2013 and 2016 European Blues Awards for Best Solo/Acoustic Act, was the first ever Canadian to take home top honours in the solo category at the 2010 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, won the CIMA Road Gold award in 2015, and has won multiple Maple Blues Awards, taking home the prizes for Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, Recording/Producer of the Year and Songwriter of the Year - And that was just in 2024!
His latest album, The Big Bottle of Joy, is all about hard-won celebration; a dozen songs infused with raw blues-rock, rollicking Americana, thoughtful folk, and ecstatic gospel.
