Matt Andersen Live Session

Ways To Subscribe

With over 2 million views on Youtube, a 2013 European Blues award, and named Best Solo Performer at the Memphis Blues Challenge, the entire world is now discovering Matt Andersen. A powerhouse performer with a giant soul-filled voice and commanding stage presence, Matt has built a formidable following the old fashioned way - touring the world and letting the converted audiences and Andersen devotees spread his reputation through word of mouth. 

Now with Weightless, his debut album for True North Records, Matt's music has been captured on record as never before. The New Brunswick native's formidable talents as a blues performer have led to numerous accolades, but the new album shows a shift in focus, and a catalog of songs that move beyond the traditional blues sound.

As FM Network Program Director and Music Director, Eric oversees many aspects of JPR's broadcast day. He still hosts the occasional Open Air or classical music shift, and is the driving force behind JPR Live Sessions - our popular series of live in-studio music performances and conversations.
