Matt York- Lucky Man

Mmmmm this song makes me smile in my heart. A perfect wake up on a snowy wintery morning.

I recently went to see Matt York play at an intimate get together at the The Inner Garden at a show called Grass Roots. This was the second time a Grass Roots show had been organized and it was a magical evening. The space was incredible, the crowd was super chill and of course, the music was wonderful. I felt like I was listening to a live version of some of my favourite songs in the comfort of my the most beautifully calming, meditative, and community building space. It was an incredible experience.

Matt played a soul enriching set and after the show I got up the courage to ask him if I could help him sing the hook of my favourite song of his at our annual O'Keeefe House Backyard concert during Orientation week at Ryerson. He said yes without ever hearing me sing one note. Honestly, such a nice guy.

I recently decided to fulfill a childhood dream of mine and started taking voice lessons. My teach tells me I am a natural and I am definitely excited to accompany Matt in the near future!

If you don't know this artist, trust me on this one- you need to! Enjoy!
