The Matinee, two-time “Roots Artist of the Year” winners at the BCCMA awards, have carved a reputation as one of Western Canada’s most electrifying live acts. Their breakout single, “Young & Lazy,” soared to number 1 in Canada, topping both the CBC and MuchMusic Video charts, and set the course for a career that now spans 15 years. Over five albums, the former Light Organ Records artists have collaborated with acclaimed producers like Grammy winner Steve Berlin (Los Lobos, Tragically Hip), Jamie Candiloro (Willie Nelson, Ryan Adams), and Juno-nominee Steve Dawson (Allison Russell). Known for their relentless touring (supporting the likes of Dallas Smith, Matt Mays, The Sheepdogs, & Randy Bachman) and unforgettable nation-wide festival appearances, they’ve logged countless miles—and also lost one tour van to flames (but that’s another story). Their latest release, - the critically acclaimed 'Change of Scene' has garnered international radio, and features 4X Grammy Nominee Allison Russell.

With comparisons to Nathaniel Rateliff, The Band, and Dawes, it's once again showtime for The Matinee.
