Matt Andersen - Free Man

[GA Russell]

Artist Title Time     Matt Andersen Free Man 03:06   Matt Andersen Impacting Now!   Unbridled joy springs eternal from Halfway Home by Morning. Recorded live off the floor in Nashville, Tennessee, celebrated songwriter Matt Andersen’s tenth album collects all the essential elements for a down-home ramble and shoots them through with enough electrifying energy to drive the rock ‘n’ roll faithful to simmer, shimmy, and shake. Over its lucky 13 tracks, he explores every facet of his sound—sweat-soaked soul, incendiary rhythm and blues, heartbroken folk, and gritty Americana—and binds them together with palpable heart, as the band leaves everything they’ve got on the sweet old hardwood of the Southern Ground studio, in the same spot that legends like Neil Young, Emmylou Harris, and Jerry Lee Lewis turned up the volume ‘til it couldn’t go up anymore.Halfway Home by Morning is the sound of an artist doing what he was born to do.   PRESS QUOTES: “A powerhouse voice that could pack a football stadium” - The National Post “A decade’s worth of quality releases and heavy touring have made New Brunswick’s Matt Andersen into one of the nation’s most reliable performers.” - AllMusic   EUROPEAN BLUES AWARDS: - 2013, 2016 – Best Solo/Acoustic Act, Winner MAPLE BLUES AWARDS: - 2010-2011 – Entertainer of the Year, Acoustic Act of the Year, Winner - 2011-2016 – Male Vocalist of the Year, Winner INTERNATIONAL BLUES CHALLENGE IN MEMPHIS, TN: - 2010 – International Blues Solo Performer, Winner JUNO AWARDS: - 2016 – Roots Traditional Album of the Year, Nominee CANADIAN INDEPENDENT MUSIC ASSOCIATION: - 2015 – CIMA Road Gold Award, Winner       Watch Matt Andersen - Free Man (Official Lyric Video) Here:
