Earlier in the year Andersen released his first acoustic solo studio record 'House to House' (Sonic Records) to widespread praise and fans will fondly remember his roof raising shows at Belfast's Real Music Club in The Errigle Inn.
On ‘House to House’ Andersen moves in a different direction from the dynamic, thumping blues that has earned him numerous accolades and awards. Here he effortlessly delves into gospel-infused folk, introspective singer-songwriter numbers and thoughtful ballads, showing a more intimate side of the performer and writer. That sparseness shows in the album’s recording process, which occurred during the pandemic in Andersen’s home studio in rural Nova Scotia, live off-the-floor, with no overdubs. The title track was written with Andersen and musicians Chris Robison and Scott Prudence who built his home studio.
Matt Andersen has earned every fan through decades of touring across the globe, from small dim lit clubs to majestic theatres and major festivals. He has amassed over 18 million streams on Spotify and 18 million views on YouTube. ‘House to House’ is Andersen’s 9th studio album and follows ‘Halfway Home By Morning’ from 2019.
