Kalle Mattson

About

Kalle Mattson is an experimental folk rock band based in Ottawa, Canada that has risen to become one of the area's most promising up-and-coming experimental acts, and could easily end up having implications for the folk rock genre as a whole. Led by Kalle Wainio who performs under the pseudonym that is also his band's namesake, the group broke onto the Canadian indie scene with the release of his self-produced EP "Telescope" in 2008. Following about a year of successful touring and live performances of his work, Kalle Mattson further ensured his band's success with the release of the 2009 album Whisper Bee, which garnered positive press from both Canadian and British music publications, as well as numerous award nominations.
