Canadian singer-songwriter Matt Andersen will play two gigs in Idaho: one presented by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts at the Sun Valley Opera House, another at the Nampa Civic Center. The guy’s a wiz with clean guitar skills, wild red hair that flies when he’s into it and a rich voice like a smoothed-out gravel road. Andersen has made a name for himself headlining at blues festivals across the continent.
