Matt Masters 30 Day Challenge
Matt Masters. Country and
western singer. Storyteller and myth builder. A true western gentleman for the
21st Century. Matt confirmed his commitment to his craft when he embarked on an
ambitious 100-show tour in celebration of the Alberta Centennial. Traveling
from Fort McMurray to Pincher Creek, he logged 25,000 kilometres and performed
for tens of thousands of Albertans and visitors alike in the summer of 2005.
Matt's Centennial tour made national headlines and earned praise from the Mayor
of Calgary, the Premier of Alberta and even the Prime Minister for his work
promoting traditional Western Canadian music. Now Matt Masters takes his
challenge locally – playing 30 live shows in 30 days and challenging the rest
of Calgary to play along side, kicking off the March Music Series.
The Matt Masters 30 Day
Challenge will profile and encourage local artists in Calgary, applaud audience
support, and raise funding for the Music Lives Here Legacy Initiative.
Community halls, shopping malls, airport stages, legions, office staff rooms
and venues get ready – soon you’ll be saying: Music Lives Here!

Calgary. Music Lives Here.
Calgary. Music Lives Here.

talent that make up Calgary's music community. With rich classical traditions,
stellar jazz, folk and blues festivals, and an energetic indie rock scene,
Calgary is a city alive with music in all forms and genres.
“Matt Masters has a remarkable voice. It soars over the open Canadian
prairie carried by the Chinook winds of his native Alberta. It wanders, like a
meandering river, softly curving around a bend and then rises up just as the
Rockies spring from the foothills. A powerful force with a clear tone, when
Matt Masters sings, the land listens.”
