"...the main thing is that Matt Epp is simply one of the best of a generation of fine songwriters emerging in this country over the last decade or so, and carrying forward the torch of Canadian songwriting that goes back to Lightfoot, Mitchell, Young, Cohen and Cockburn. It’s what we’re really good at."
—Gary Cristall, Vancouver Folk Music Festival

Matt Epp is irrefutably one of the most extraordinary Artists to come out of Canada in the past decade. Through years of touring and travels, Epp's particular character of soulful folk, infectious pop sensibilities and whimsical humour has won the admiration of an audience which spans the globe.

Charismatic and commanding, Epp is a consummate showman who delights listeners with raw, intimate acoustic sessions as well as high-energy shows backed by his international band, The Amorian Assembly.

Epp has played hundreds of shows, and collaborated often with artists ranging from Eliza Gilkyson to Jesse DeNatale, Serena Ryder, and Lori Meyers, turning impromptu collisions into unforgettable performances.  His songs, stories, warmth, honesty, and unbridled passion, have a deep capacity to engage the humanity in his audience.

Matt Epp has just returned from Europe with two groundbreaking new studio albums: a collaboration with the renowned Peter Finger led to the release of his solo acoustic album in Germany, and a band album produced by Jamie Candiloro (Ryan Adams, R.E.M) is set to be released in early 2013. If you haven’t already fallen for this critically acclaimed artist, you soon will.
