Singer-songwriter in the tradition of Dylan and Petty
"Kalle Mattson is poised to breakout in 2014." - The National Post
This Canadien singer-songwriter is tipped to be ‘the next big thing’. Influences of Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Wilco are clearly present, but Kalle Mattson doesn't just copy his examples, no, he's a contemporary version of the singer-songwriter who doesn't deny tradition but rather looks to the future.
A strong songsmith, an even stronger guitarist (though he rarely makes a big deal of it) and a unique voice make him an artist that we'll hear a lot more of.
Following performers like Valerie June, Cold Specks and Willis Earl Beal, this is yet another artist on the eve of his breakthrough and we are able to welcome him in the unique setting of Huis 23.
