Matthew Good

Chalking it up to wear and tear from his band's current tour stretch Good strayed from hitting the high notes in Hello Time Bomb and Apparitions saving himself for later on to push his register when it really counted — during the emotive Weapon.

Scott Helman opened the Matthew Good show at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto on Friday night and the crowd ate him up.

Musically and physically he's not the man he used to be nor do songs like Load Me Up and Apparitions hold up quite the same as they did when Edgefest was the go-to summer festival.

Perhaps in the spirit of the band's mummy and ghost Halloween costumes the crowd seemed to lose the will to live while Limblifter played only showing a spark during closer Tin Foil.

Matthew Good + Poesy @ Bella Concert Hall – March 21st 2019

I appreciate it when show venues are booked in coordination with the genre or type of show happening. It makes a great difference to have an acoustic set, like the show on March 16th featuring Matthew Good with POESY, in an intimate theatre like the Corona Theatre because it adds to the softness of the evening. .
