When Matt Andersen steps on stage, he brings a lifetime of music to every note he plays. 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. Andersen’s stage presence is informed by decades of cutting his teeth in dusty clubs, dimly lit bars, and grand theaters all over the world. He won the Best Solo/Acoustic category at the 2013 and 2016 European Blues Awards, was the first Canadian to win the solo category at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in 2010, won the Canadian Independent Music Association’s Road Gold award in 2015, and has won multiple Maple Blues Awards.

Singer-songwriter Adam Baldwin has been a mainstay of Atlantic Canada’s music scene for more than a decade. On his sophomore full-length album, Concertos and Serenades, Baldwin, born and raised in Nova Scotia, offers an East Coast testimony that challenges the typical tourism marketing gloss. The folk-pop songwriter bears witness and pays tribute to a tradition of desperation: sinners and losers, perpetual failures, and down-and-out phantoms that haunt his home’s coastlines and back roads.
