Matthew Byrne is a Canadian Gem
by Bill and Jo on 2019-10-07National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaMatthew is a Canadian gem. In his short career, we have seen him in Ontario and in PEI 4 times and own all his music. If you had ever told me I would love this kind of music this much the day before we first saw him...ever...I would have been doubtful, to say the least. We are huge fans of the story songs and the stories Matt shares onstage. His humour and self deprecating comments have endeared him to us and to those around us at every concert. He is single-handedly preserving this music in the rest of Canada and elsewhere. I already know it is already quite safe in NFLD! Kudos to the NAC for having him, the 4th Stage is a good space.
