Christina chats with Canadian road warrior, singer-songwriter and Juno winner Matt Mays about protecting the song, life's ups and downs, mental and physical well being and the hard work that goes into being human.
Since departing seminal alt-country collective The Guthries in 2002,
Matt Mays has alternated between solo projects (his self-titled
debut, the film soundtrack ...When the Angels Make Contact) and
band projects (the eponymous Matt Mays & El Torpedo record and
2008’s Terminal Romance). Following the dissolution of Matt Mays &
El Torpedo in 2009, Mays released Coyote in 2012 to much acclaim,
including a JUNO Award win for Rock Album of the Year.
In 2017 Mays released Once Upon a Hell of a Time... to be followed
a year later by the album’s ‘woody’ companion Twice Upon a Hell
of a Time.... As the pandemic shut down touring in early 2020, Mays
set up a studio in his garage and produced Dog City, an inspiring
album written from the perspective of a rescue dog. In early 2021,
From Burnside With Love, a live album showcasing unplugged
versions of his most popular songs, was released along with a concert
film of the same name.
