In the three short years since Kalle Wainio began writing songs, under the pseudonym ‘Kalle Mattson’, the band has grown from a Dylan-influenced solo act into a full-on experimental folk-rock quintet. In early 2009 the band released ‘Whisper Bee,’ an album that has garnered praise from both Canadian and British music press, earned the band two Northern Ontario Music Award nominations and placement in the Top 100 of the Billboard World Song Contest.
Kalle Mattson has completed multiple Canadian tours and have opened for many notable talents including: The Wooden Sky, Great Bloomers, You Say Party!, The Deep Dark Woods, Fred Eaglesmith, Cuff The Duke, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Elliott Brood, Cowboy Junkies, Josh Ritter and Blue Rodeo among many others.
In the summer of 2010 Kalle Mattson recorded their sophomore effort 'Anchors' with Howie Beck (Feist, Jason Collett, Hayden, Josh Rouse, etc.) at the mixing helm. The album was mastered in Los Angeles by the legendary Bernie Grundman Studios (Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, U2, The Band, Van Morrison, etc), and was released on March 22nd, 2011 to rave reviews, song placement on Degrassi, and festival slots at CMW, NXNE, COCA and Ottawa Bluesfest.
"Kalle Wainio seems to wise beyond his years musically and emotionally. The Sault Ste. Marie native and his band - Kalle Mattson - show more potential than any young band I've come across." - Herohill
"Like Wilco colliding with a sunny day, Kalle Mattson injects indie-rock with elements off-kilter folk and rootsy accents. Ringing guitars, Jeff Tweedy style vocals, and exhibiting a rock finesse to counterbalance their youngish appearance. This four-piece from Sault Ste. Marie is a triumph of radiant energy. They definitely have their hearts in the right place." - LonelyVagabond
"They are a happy accident where Wilco, Neil Young and Pavement topple head over heels together down a hill, falling into a beautiful mess at the bottom." - QuickBeforeItMelts
"They may be a young band but their music and spirit traces sentiments of an old soul. For only being together for a couple of years Kalle Mattson, has a beautifully defined sound that echoes the greats of our past." - ..Bands Undone..
