Piggyback marks the first recorded collaboration between East Coast phenom Matt Andersen and harmonica virtuoso Mike Stevens. Andersen and Stevens recorded and produced Piggyback with Scott Merritt (Fred Eaglesmith, Stephen Fearing) live off the floor at The Cottage in Guelph , Ontario . The album, consisting of 12 original songs co-written by Andersen and Stevens, features Andersen on guitar and vocals and Stevens on harmonica and spoken word. Andersen's sprawling blues, roots and rock musical hybrid and his sorrowing and soulful voice create his larger than life showmanship. His 2008 album, Something In Between, garnered both the Male Solo Recording of the Year and Blues Recording of the Year awards at the 2009 East Coast Music Awards. Matt Andersen has been earning a grass roots following for his unstoppable live shows wherever he graces the stage. Matt has played high profile festivals, toured and shared the stage at home and south of the border with Bo Diddley, Randy Bachman, Little Feat, America and others. With three ECMA award nominations under his belt for his debut recordings of One Size Never Fits EP and his critically acclaimed live CD, Solo at Sessions, Matt has also released a studio recording of his previous live material Second Time Around along with fan favourite Live at Liberty House. As a solo entertainer, and with countless world famous musicians, Mike Stevens' journey has taken him across the globe. With a history taking him to the deepest roots of traditional bluegrass, Mike has been a regular at the Grand Ole Opry with the likes of Jim and Jesse, The Carter Family and Bill Monroe, to name a few.
