Born in Saskatchewan, singer-songwriter Matt Goud now lives in Victoria and has done extensive touring throughout North America. Former member of post-hardcore band, Means, Goud is now working on a solo project by the name Northcote, in which his musical style is often described as folk, rock, and roots. In 2009, he released his first solo EP entitled "Borrowed Chords, Tired Eyes" and earlier this year released his debut full-length album Gather No Dust.
I was really surprised by this musician. He came onstage alone and I expected him to sing a couple of folk songs accompanied by an acoustic guitar. But along with the guitar, Matt managed to play the harmonica and tap away at a stomp box, sometimes simultaneously. I thought his musicality was impressive and he was able to get the crowd into his music. It helped that he would fist pump after each song and then get into a small personal story before going on to the next tune. I enjoyed his set and I recommend listening to his songs and seeing him live!
