Matt Mays

Initially a member of Canadian rock outfit The Guthries, Matt Mays is a singer-songwriter who has forged a successful career in his own right and is now a household name in Canadian alternative rock. After leaving The Guthries and releasing his debut solo record in 2002, Mays formed new band Matt Mays & El Torpedo in 2005. After achieving commercial success with regular airplay on Canadian radio, Mays dissolved El Torpedo in 2009 to focus solely on his solo career. This proved to be an inspired move as his career went from strength to strength, winning support slots with The Gaslight Anthem across North America and headlining the legendary Massey Hall for the first time. His hard work was rewarded by winning a JUNO Award in 2014 for his second solo album 'Coyote'. Mays showed his versatility as an artist with the release of companion albums 'Once Upon a Hell of a Time' and 'Twice Upon a Hell of a Time' which featured rock and acoustic versions of the track listing respectively.
