Matt Gower / Michael Peterson / Libby & Cal
at LIVE! on Elgin

Matt Gower:
Matt Gower has been involved in the Ottawa music community for over two decades. His songwriting incorporates elements of folk, alt-country and old-time music tied together with timeless lyrics and a powerful singing voice. Over the years Matt has performed with garage-folk band Capital Grass and the No Men, folk duo Fathom the Sea as well as solo gigs around the National Capital Region and Western Quebec. Throughout Matt’s musical journeys, a constant thread has held true: nothing carries more weight than connecting with an audience through the power of song.

Michael Peterson:
Michael Peterson fronts the band Tilda, with roots dating back to the early 90’s Ottawa scene. Then, they were The Belfast Cowboys, known for their energetic “REM on steroids” neither country nor celtic sound morphing into The Flats and eventually Tilda came into the light within the early 2000’s when he had a vivid fever dream about a WW2 Pilot bobbing out his demise in some nondescript ocean and working with Andrew Long recorded and released a "neo-folk" album Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor in 2014 as Tilda.

Libby & Cal:
She plays a DIY-modified autoharp. He plays a 12-string he swapped for a bicycle. Together, Libby & Cal perform eclectic but surprisingly catchy indie-folk music. The Ottawa-based duo is looking forward to the release of their third album, "The Hagstrom-Schmidt Affair," and to their performance at the California Autoharp Gathering, both in May 2025.
