Jim Byrnes & Matt Anderson -
Jim Byrnes was born in St. Louis, Missouri – blues country. His evocative, smoky vocals are found in a truth that doesn’t come overnight. Whether he is working solo or with a band he brings soul, intensity and total commitment to the music he loves. New Brunswick's Matt Andersen has an enigmatic personality that is coupled with 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 and that grass roots word of mouth can not be contained any longer!
