For more than a decade now, Matt Patershuk - who resides in rural northern Alberta - has been writing and performing some of the most beautiful, endearing and true music ever created in this country. His newest album, 'If Wishes Were Horses', on the Black Hen Music label, communicates the huge strides Matt has made as an artist since the release of 'Same As I Have Ever Been'.
