Matt Epp
Album Release Concert
with Catherine MacLellan
Thursday, October 18, 2012

Armed with an arsenal of new music, Matt Epp has returned from Europe with two studio albums. He has collaborated with Peter Finger’s Acoustic Music Records, a renowned German record label, for a solo acoustic album with an October release. In the meantime, Matt Epp has mounted his one-man Careful Abandon tour with dates scheduled across Canada and abroad. He will be performing at the West End Cultural Centre on Thursday October 18th, showcasing music from Careful Abandon.

A new release with his talented transnational band The Amorian Assembly produced by Jamie Candiloro whose resume includes alt-country darling Ryan Adams and R.E.M., is set for release in early 2013.

Manitoba native Matt Epp is self-taught musician who writes songs with the intent to uplift and enrich. Sometimes described as a rock poet, he combines soulful folk sounds infused with a hint of alt-rock. Endowed with infinite capacity to engage an audience with soul-inspiring, beautifully honest stories set to music and his genial disposition, Epp is one of the gifted forerunners defining the future landscape of Canadian music.
