In the short time since Kalle Mattson began writing songs, he and his band have grown from a Dylan-influenced solo act into a full on experimental folk-rock quintet. The video for “Thick As Thieves” from the album ‘Anchors’, went viral, with over 1,000,000 views. The video depicts the history of the world using stop-motion animation. Created for a mere $250, it was covered by such media outlets as Time Magazine, The Huffington Post, Much Music, Yahoo, and CBS News, amongst others, and led The National Post to highlight Kalle Mattson as one of five musicians poised to breakout in 2012. And breakout he did, in 2012 and beyond! When you see Kalle Mattson perform at this year’s RBC Bluesfest, you’ll know why.
