History Repeating

Canadian crooner in the style of Michael Buble and Harry Connick Jr. Matt's debut album has sold Platinum in Canada and 'Back in Town' is already certified Gold in his home territory.

The debut album 'Two Shots' had a mix of American classics as well as some contemporary tracks on it, including the tracked penned by Bono & The Edge 'Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot Of Sad' .

Beautifully arranged works recorded in the famous Studio A of Capital Studios in LA .

Along with big-band material drawn from the great American songbook, Back in Town features such contemporary pop songs as the incredibly catchy "All About Me" and the powerhouse title track, both given the chart-topping treatment from Chris Lord-Alge - one of the best known mix engineers in the world - with credits ranging from Green Day to Madonna.   The big band material truly breaks new ground amongst the young crooners on the scene today - Much of the album was recorded in Los Angeles at the fabled Capitol Studios in Studio A - where the walls have resonated with the voices of such icons as Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dean Martin.   And as if that magical setting wasn't enough, several renowned arrangers including Patrick Williams, Vince Mendoza, and Sammy Nestico were brought in to provide new charts to these classic numbers.   In addition, 15-time Grammy Award winning engineer Al Schmitt (Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Ray Charles) sat at the helm and recorded and mixed all the big band material.   This ambitious project is bound to find a home with the cross-over, crooner fans, the critics, and the jazz fans across the country.

Songwriter. Poet. Counter-culture icon. Consummate ladies' man.   Since bursting onto the scene in 1967, Leonard Cohen has inspired generations with his unique personality and haunting music, becoming one of the most original and enduring artists to emerge from the 1960's. Now, Lions Gate is proud to celebrate Cohen's legacy with director Lian Lunson's LEONARD COHEN I'M YOUR MAN, an intimate look at the songs, poetry and life of one of music's most celebrated and influential troubadours.

In January, 2006, Lunson traveled to Sydney to film the historic "Came So Far For Beauty" show, a tribute to Leonard Cohen at the Sydney Opera House organized by famed music producer Hal Willner. LEONARD COHEN I'M YOUR MAN includes behind-the-scenes interviews and live performances from this event by Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, Martha Wainwright, Beth Orton, Linda Thompson, Teddy Thompson, Jarvis Cocker, The Handsome Family, Julie Christensen and Perla Battala, as well as a special performance of "Tower of Song" by Cohen and U2. And in a series of candid interviews, Cohen himself reveals his trademark wry humor and soulful intensity, using his own artwork, poetry and person a collection of photographs to reflect upon his colorful past and his creative process.

Sure to please both diehard Cohen fans and the newly initiated, Lunson's film is a beautiful record of captivating music, and an intimate portrait of a truly singular artist.   LEONARD COHEN I'M YOUR MAN is directed and produced by Lian Lunson, and executive produced by Mel Gibson, Erik Nelson, Kevin Beggs, and Sandra Stern.
