  • Summary

  • With 10 albums under his belt, including an album entirely written for a stage musical, another in collaboration with his sister Jill Barber, a couple Juno nominations, a handful of Canadian Folk Music Award nominations, and multiple songs placed in TV shows and films, Matthew Barber is one of Canada's most respected contemporary songwriters. I have known Matt for so many years now that I have spent more time in my life knowing him than I have spent not knowing him. He's in a rarified class of people in my life. Outside of my family, he's the guy who has known me the longest, and I like it that way. He is, hands down, one of my favourite people in the whole world - universe even, because, look, if we're talking in hyperbole, let's go all the way with it. He has been one of my favourite songwriters since I started listening to his songs. Matt has a way with melody, harmony, and song structure that just gets me in all the right places. He has produced both of the Clever Hopes albums, and there was never a question that it would be any other way. In our chat we talk about his early dreams of playing goal in the NHL; the thrill and disappointment related to signing a major label deal in the early 2000's; his approach to producing records; the importance of leaving space for others in the creative process, and much more. matthewbarber.com When We Wake theme song is Got You by Noah Reid, produced by...Matthew Barber.
