about
Singer-songwriter Lorrie Matheson honed his writing and performance skills in the storied Calgary bands Anxious Poets and Fire Engine Red. Fire Engine Red's 1995 album 1530 spawned the single “Shank Pony.” After Fire Engine Red called it a day, Matheson spent some time Edmonton's Pal Joey. A rootsier element blended with the rock in Matheson’s next project, National Dust (Canada). The band put out two albums: 1998’s Blind Luck...Ain’t No Luck At All and 2000’s Welcome To Utopia, which spawned the Alberta radio hit “Before You Wear The Grindstone Down.” Matheson began his solo career in 2002 with You Should Know By Now. The 2004 release A Dime At A Time was his second solo album. His latest album, In Vein, was released digitally in mid-2008 and will be followed by a vinyl release in early 2009. www.lorriematheson.com User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
