Brett Matthews, a Cape Breton native, redefines Americana with influences from R&B to Country, akin to Bon Iver and City & Colour. Starting music at 13, he joined Classified's band in 2019, playing over 40 shows. His song "If I Die Today (feat. Classified)" was selected for the top 25 finalists in the American Songwriter Song Contest and has been chosen as a semi-finalist in other international songwriting competitions. He has also just released his single "Tomorrow" on all streaming platforms.
With Brett's mix of soft vocals and strong message to push on - and fight to hold on, the song takes you on the journey of finding and offering help for those who need it most. The key lyric, "tomorrow may never come" is in reference to how we are never promised tomorrow, so we should be living in the moment, and be the most present and we can be with ourselves and those around us.
Brett Matthews and Claverhouse will be taking ICCA by storm this August 3
