"A beautiful, soulful voice" -Jeff Coffin, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones



With the release of his debut album Late Last Night, Robby Hecht's music represents a return to the early 70s golden era of acoustic pop where thoughtful, well-crafted lyrics were blended with timeless melodies to impact mainstream music and culture. Produced by Lex Price (Mindy Smith) and mixed by Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Josh Rouse), Late Last Night features an impressive list of guest performers including Mindy Smith, Jeff Coffin, Thad Cockrell, Jill Andrews, John Deaderick, Andrea Zonn and more.

Raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, Robby first began writing and performing while attending The University of Wisconsin-Madison, developing and pairing his soulful voice and unique finger-style guitar. After spending time living in Paris and San Francisco, and a period fronting the band AllDay Radio, he eventually returned to his home state, settling in Nashville.

A 2008 Kerrville New Folk Winner, Robby has played folk/roots festivals and venues across the country, sharing the stage with such legendary artists as Richie Havens, Ron Sexsmith, Patty Griffin, and John Gorka, and garnering comparisons to early James Taylor, Paul Simon, and Amos Lee. Like these celebrated artists, Robby Hecht is a unique voice -- one that is stirring, instantly recognizable and truly original.

"Something In Between" is Matt's first full length studio album recorded in the UK with Eric Clapton's post-Cream band who have also graced recordings and live tours with George Harrison and Joe Cocker. The CD was produced by Paul Milner (Keith Richards).


New Brunswick's Matt Andersen has a larger than life showmanship that has been earning him a fervent and steadfast audience wherever he graces the stage.


Matt's sprawling blues, roots and rock musical hybrid with his sorrowing and soulful voice has sparked a phenomenal buzz on the east coast of Canada and that grass roots word of mouth can not be contained any longer!


In the past couple of years Matt has released an introductory EP along with three critically acclaimed fan favorites in Canada - The Live CDs; "Solo at Sessions" which was multi-nominated for The East Coast Music Awards and "Live at Liberty House", shortly followed by Second Time Around.


Along with a very busy touring schedule as a headliner at festivals, clubs and theatres throughout North America, Matt has also shared the stage and toured with America, Randy Bachman, Bo Diddley, Little Feat and a host of others.


Matt has just finished a successful UK tour and in support of his much anticipated studio release of original material "Something In Between", he will be back for a follow-up tour later this year. Fans and new-fans alike will be able to witness his now legendary performances on a global scale.


Matt Andersen is a very real, rare, raw talent and career artist who is vital to our musical landscape. He is one of Canada's finest guitar players.


In support of the new album Matt will be touring the UK in February 09.
