The Georgia Straight presents Matt Costa at Electric Owl

Live Nation has announced that American indie folk-rock singer-songwriter Matt Costa will perform at Electric Owl on Thursday, March 28, in support of his self-titled fourth album.

 Matt Costa, out on February 12,  is a 10-song collection of new songs recorded in Scotland with long-time Belle & Sebastian/Mogwai collaborator Tony Doogan. Costa initially set out to make a folk-roots album, but the resulting recording is an eclectic blend of lush, elaborate arrangements (“Golden Cathedrals”), nostalgic British pop (“Early November”), dreamy folk (“Ophelia”), and enchanting ballads (“Eyes For You”).

Tickets for the show are priced at $20 (plus service charges) and go on sale this Friday (January 18) at 10 a.m. on the Live Nation website. 

Tickets will also be available for purchase by phone at 1-855-985-5000, at Red Cat Records and at all Ticketmaster outlets.
