KALLE MATTSON: http://www.kallemattson.com

In the three short years since Kalle Wainio began writing songs, under the pseudonym ‘Kalle Mattson’, the band has grown from a Dylan-influenced solo act into a full-on experimental folk-rock quintet. In early 2009 the band released ‘Whisper Bee,’ an album that has garnered praise from both Canadian and British music press, earned the band two Northern Ontario Music Award nominations and placement in the Top 100 of the Billboard World Song Contest.

Kalle Mattson has completed multiple Canadian tours and have opened for many notable talents including: The Wooden Sky, Great Bloomers, The Deep Dark Woods, Cuff The Duke, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Elliott Brood, Cowboy Junkies, Real Estate, Josh Ritter and Blue Rodeo among many others.
