Matthew Good

Canadian singer/songwriter Matthew Great rose to prominence within the middle-’90s fronting the favorite alt-rock group Matthew Great Music group. A crafty songwriter with a solid melodic sense along with a relatively brash outspokenness, Great led MGB from local success within their indigenous Vancouver to Juno-winning, double-platinum position during the period of four albums prior to the group disbanded in 2002. The next year, he produced his solo debut with Avalanche, a far more brooding and thoughtful stylistic departure that presented accompaniment from your Vancouver Symphony Orchestra on several tracks. A far more stripped-down live strategy was used for his follow-up, White colored Light Rock and roll & Move Review, released the next 12 months. Arriving in 2005, Inside a Coma put together shows from his years with MGB in addition to more recent single material. Good’s determination to consider stylistic dangers and alter his method would turn into a common theme over time as he shipped acclaimed albums like 2007’s chart-topping Medical center Music and 2009’s Vancouver, the second option which netted him another Juno Honor. Released in 2011, Lamps of Endangered Varieties noticed him reunited with maker and regular collaborator Warne Livesey, who experienced helmed his single debut in addition to MGB’s breakout recording, Gorgeous Midnight. Good’s 6th solo work, 2013’s hard-hitting Arrows of Desire, was influenced by alt-rock symbols like Pixies as well as the Afghan Whigs, who have been early affects of his. 2 yrs later, Chaotic Natural earned him another Juno nod and presented a duet with another past collaborator, Holly McNarland, on the cover of Kate Bush’s “Cloudbusting.”
