A powerhouse performer with a giant soul-filled voice and commanding stage presence, Matt Andersen has built a formidable following the old fashioned way - touring worldwide and letting the converted audiences and Andersen devotees spread his reputation through word of mouth. Along the way he managed to net three Maple Blues Awards, a Memphis Blues Challenge win, a CIMA Road Gold Award, a European Blues Award, and a Juno Award nomination. Produced in New York with Commissioner Gordon (Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, KRS-One), Honest Man follows up the JUNO Award nominated Top 10 Canadian Soundscan album Weightless and sees the songwriter pushing himself into new territory. Blessed with a rich gospel soul voice and armed with a new set of songs, Matt Andersen found a perfect partner in crime with Commissioner Gordon.
