Apologies - we've had to cancel this gig!! 😢 We host folk singer-songwriter, Jesse Matas, as he passes through Madrid. We first met back in Paris back when we were fresh faced booksellers and when he told us he was passing through, we obviously had to say yes. Check out a tune or two and come down! €10 / ticket

Jesse Matas is a songwriter, poet and multi-instrumentalist from Treaty One Territory in Winnipeg, Manitoba. For a decade, he toured extensively throughout North America and Europe, releasing three full length albums as a one third of his band Crooked Brothers. In more recent years he has toured solo, releasing a debut LP under his own name. Throughout this time, Jesse and the Crooked Brothers won or were nominated for several national awards including a Canadian Folk Music Award and a Western Canadian Music Award. Their music has been featured on HBO and in major motion pictures. They also put on a notoriously good live show, a tradition that Jesse has carried into his own performances. In 2018, his debut solo album, Tamarock, was released on StoNote Records. It was named Album of the Year by three radio shows on two continents and was on regular rotation on major and community radio in Canada, the UK, US, France, Belgium, and Netherlands. There are plans for a new release with subsequent tours in 2025-26.
