Matthew Good brings string quartet to Imperial Theatre on Nov. 3

The Juno-winning rock artist’s fall Ontario theatre tour stops in Sarnia for two sets of hits, deep cuts and B-sides with string arrangements.

Matthew Good will perform at the Imperial Theatre on Tuesday, Nov. 3, backed by his band and a string quartet led by cellist Kevin Fox.

The show, billed as Matthew Good and His Band featuring Kevin Fox and His String Quartet, starts at 8 p.m.

The evening will run across two 45-minute sets. Audiences can expect hits, deep cuts and rare B-sides reimagined in acoustic, full-band and string-accompanied versions, moving from stripped-down solo moments to fully orchestrated arrangements.

Good first rose to prominence as the frontman of the Matthew Good Band, whose songs include “Hello Timebomb,” “Everything Is Automatic,” “Apparitions” and “Load Me Up.” The group won Juno Awards for best group and best rock album for Beautiful Midnight in 2000.

He launched his solo career with Avalanche in 2003. His solo catalogue includes “Weapon,” “In a World Called Catastrophe,” “Born Losers” and “Last Parade,” along with the Juno-winning album Vancouver.
