New Brunswick’s Matt Andersen has an enigmatic personality coupled with a larger than life showmanship that has been earning him a fervent and steadfast audience wherever he graces the stage. Matt’s sprawling blues, roots and rock musical hybrid, with his sorrowing and soulful voice, has sparked a phenomenal buzz on the east coast.  He is a very real, rare, raw talent and career artist that is vital to our musical landscape.

Vancouver Island’s Wil is the consummate touring folk musician, developing his expansive roots-rock sound and world-weary lyricism while playing his famously intense shows. His show has been compared to the likes of Springsteen, Frank Black and Ani DiFranco with songwriting comparisons to Ryan Adams. He has toured with Jason Collett, Colin James, Matthew Good and Xavier Rudd. He has earned 3 nominations at the West Coast Music Awards including “Entertainer of the Year”.  Wil’s 2007 album, By December, saw him collaborating with Dave MacKinnon (FemBots); Ron Sexsmith; 54-40’s Neil Osborne; and Broken Social Scene’s Jason Collett.
