Matt Costa

He is the new Paul Simon. But sexy, hip, wearing a belt buckle, and playing the ,ol harmonica. We give him style points for consistently wearing interesting hats.

Dude is killing it. He truly is Beattles esque. The sun is shining and so is Matty! No side stage show this time. With a cowboy hat on, Mr. Costa is paying it forward once again.

Although Matt Costa doesn’t have his $25,000 in stolen equipment back just yet, there may be a lead in the investigation.
After playing a nearly sold-out show in Winnipeg, Manitoba, February 16th at the Garrick Centre, thieves stole more than half of the singer/songwriter’s gear and instruments from a locked storage room at the venue, according to the Winnipeg Sun.
Costa’s manager, Chris Fenn, told Pollstar that although Winnipeg police are unable to comment on the investigation, the latest word is that "they raided a home in Winnipeg – but they have no idea if it’s our gear. … They’re still pursuing possible suspects."
The Winnipeg Sun recently reported city police raided a home connected to a music production group after seeing a rap group’s music video that included footage of an illegal firearm and suspected stolen equipment – possibly some of Costa’s.
Detective Duncan Paterson with the Winnipeg Police Department was unavailable for comment at press time.
Anyone with information related to the stolen gear is urged to contact Fenn at chris@mattcosta.com or Paterson at (204) 986-7890. Gander On!

Matt Costa "Unfamiliar Faces" Tracklist

Matt had one of our favorite albums last year and even though we managed to catch him at Coachella, Sasquatch, Austin City Limits, Bumbershoot, The Crocodile Cafe, and a handful or two of other venues/festivals the sets never got old. Now Matt's been hard at work putting together his second album entitled "Unfamiliar Faces" and we expect it will be just as good as the last. The songs titles are definitly intriguing and we're hoping an advance copy arrives in the mail very soon because we don't think we can wait until October 2nd.
