Event Description
“You can tap your foot to pretty much any song, but a great song you can sing along with. Holtby writes just like that.” Steve Waxman. That’s the word on Matthew Holtby. Enjoy him on the patio on Thursday, July 3, 2025 from 5-8pm.
“Great singing and great song. Death Cab vibe with some GBV.”
Tim Vesley, Rheostatics/Violet Archers
Warkworth, Ontario’s Matthew Holtby has been slowly adding to his collection of singles, one song at a time for the past two years. Working with Peterborough Producer, Michael Phillips, the pair have been digging out the sounds Holtby creates on his acoustic guitar with the help of his bandmates, best friends and even his Father. Last year saw the release of two independent singles which caught the ear of the CBC, and also helped to land him a few festival spots. He also had the pleasure of opening for legendary blues rocker David Wilcox to a sold out crowd in his hometown of Oshawa. He’s just released a brand new EP, and is looking forward to a very busy and exciting year ahead.
