Matt Mays and his band are keeping fans very entertained during these strange times with the release of their live ‘From Burnside With Love’ album out Friday, February 12th. The semi-unplugged set was recorded from his hometown of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. It’s release is followed by a livestreamed concert event, happening Saturday, February 13th.

You can grab tickets to the show, a perfect Valentine’s date night thing if you ask me, online here.

 

Matt released his 8th studio album ‘Dog City’ last September with a whopping 484 dogs on the cover, although over 700 photos were submitted. Written from the perspective of a rescue dog, it delivers his (and his bands’) signature folk-rock vibes with wonderful moments of Marc Bolan (T. Rex), Elliott Smith and the Velvet Underground. Check out that Stooges cover, too!

Here’s my full conversation with Matt about pandemic life, the need to perform and the future of live shows. I mean, we talked for near 13 minutes, so we covered a log of ground but I won’t type it all out here when you could just click the play button (below).

‘From Burnside With Love’ is out next Friday and the livestream concert event follows on Saturday.

After the premiere, you have until Monday, Feb. 15 at 10 p.m. EST to watch the video. Tickets cost only $20.00 all in (or at least that’s what option I chose to purchase). The other option costs from $70.00 to $90.00 CAD and includes your ticket PLUS an autographed copy of ‘From Burnside With Love’ on vinyl (3 LP set).
