ABOUT

Matt Polsfut first had a guitar in hand at the age of seven, music was a love hate relationship but by the age of fourteen Matt would start writing, recording and performing after being exposed to live music as escape from the pressures of teen life; he found an outlet in being able to express his tensions through music. Matt currently plays solo and could be considered a Contemporary Folk artist, with the sound of the likes of Cat Stevens. Matt has played in Anchor Down, Lonesome Town, River of Peace and a self titled band which range in the genres of Punk, Glam Rock, Hardcore, Emo and Hard Rock.
Matt’s music has appeared in independent film festivals and he has made appearances at the Regina Cathedral Arts Festival, and multiple gigs around Regina and surrounding area.
