We are pleased to announce that Matt Blais will be here to share his music with us.
Matt Blais is the current Calgary Songwriter in Residence and has collaborated with Sam Roberts, played over a thousand shows, opening for acts such as Blue Rodeo and The Strumbellas, and performed venues like Calgary Stampede’s Coca-Cola Stage, Big Valley Jamboree Songwriter Stage.
With awards such as “Male Artist of the Year” at the Calgary Music Awards (2018) and “Best Rock Song” at The Great American Song Contest (2016), he has solidified his reputation as a musical force both on and off the stage.
By writing socially relevant and meaningful songs in an upbeat and accessible style, performing them with his signature belting vocals and harmonica work, Blais has built a full-time career with fans across Canada.
His latest release, “Our Comeback” (June 2021), captures the energy and hope of a community ready to bounce back, rise up, and overcome.
In collaboration with ATCO Energy, the song is raising money for “The Prophets of Music”, a non-profit organization that supports emerging artists. Please join us Friday, August 27th at 2:00 pm for an afternoon of great music.
This is a free concert but you must bring your own lawn chair. If you have any questions please contact Diane or Gail at the Golden Circle at 403-343-6074.
