MATTHEW FRANCIS ANDERSEN/ JOSH HARTY

August 14, 2015 @ 8:30 pm - 11:00 pm

$7.50

MATTHEW FRANCIS ANDERSEN is a Chicago native. His experience as a fishing guide in the northwoods allows him to seamlessly bridge the traffic and taverns of the city with the pines and prairies of the open Midwest. Matthew is currently touring in support of his cd Blue Line. He is the winner of American Songwriter Magazine’s 2012 lyric contest.

JOSH HARTY is a singer/ songwriter originally from Fargo, ND, though now he calls Madison home. He grew up singing and later playing guitar with his dad from the age of 6, touring the Midwest performing at senior centers, churches and small-town festivals. These days he still spends most of the year on the road, touring throughout the US and Europe (spending less time in Wisconsin than he’d like). Currently working on his fourth solo album and planning more tours for 2016, Harty shows no signs of slowing down. His live shows prove that good story telling combined with journeyman musicianship is as American as music gets.
