\ TO WEST \

A “good ol’ folk singer” as he might describe himself,  Peter Mathieson is both a composer of catchy, cheeky Roots ditties and a witty, engaging presence on stage and off.

In 2011 the veteran songwriter released his answer to “unplugged” albums by Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart: his Unscrewed collection of originals that includes his “Good Ol’ Folk Singer” tune and will get you chuckling as well as bopping along.

This evening he’ll do the same at Humble Beginnings in west TO from 8-10. No cover. -Gary 17
