Matt Andersen Holiday Show @ The Astor Theatre

Dec 8 @ 8:00 pm

*SECOND SHOW ADDED*

Friday December 8th and Saturday December 9th, 2023

Tickets are $54 in advance, $59 day of show (including tax and service charge) are available at the Astor Theatre box office (Tuesday through Friday 10am until 4pm), by phone at 902-354-5250 and online.

__

Doors: 7pm | Show: 8pm

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Matt Andersen is taking the holiday party on the road. In his own words, “I’ll have some friends along with me to join in on the fun for the night. We’ll do up a mix of Holiday tunes and my own songs to warm us all up on a winter night.” It’s never too early to get in the spirit! When Andersen steps on stage, he brings a lifetime of music to every note he plays. Andersen’s stage presence is informed by decades of cutting his teeth in dusty clubs, dim-lit bars, and grand theatres all over the world, delivering soulful performances that run the gamut from intimate to wall-shaking. 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. In the studio, he’s always brought the same attention to detail and commitment to craft as he has to his live show, and the result – a multi-faceted and poignant body of work – has led him to amass over 26 million streams on Spotify and 26 million views on YouTube. In addition to headlining major festivals, clubs and theatres throughout North America, Europe, and Australia, he has shared the stage and toured with Marcus King, Beth Hart, Marty Stuart, Greg Allman, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Randy Bachman, Serena Ryder, Tab Benoit, and more.
