LIVE DVD IN GRANADA, SPAIN

LIVE DVD IN GRANADA, SPAIN

GERMANY

Friends! A few nice things happn’n… here’s a little heads up.

First things first. I just arrived back from an action-packed adventure tour for 2 months in Europe. One month in the north, one month in Spain. My Spanish rock band and I made a DVD recording of our Granada show and it was MUCHO fun. That should be finished by summer or fall, and it should provide some insight into how the Epp machine is running away from home ;) Back to the present day….

I’m on a night bus (with wireless!) headed down to New York City now… thursday May 13 at 12noon ET I’ll be live on SiriusXM Radio, on their far-reaching ‘Coffee House’ channel for 30 minutes. It’ll be rebroadcast the next day again at the same time too. The link: http://www.sirius.com/thecoffeehouse

Then I spend some time in Canada’s east coast, a first trip to introduce myself to Prince Edward Island… and returns to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. No Canadian should consider themselves Canadian until they have had a serious look at the Maritimes :) Dates are easily viewed at www.myspace.com/mattepp

Future… I’m appearing at western coast Canada’s Vancouver Island Musicfest and Vancouver Folk Festival, both in July.

Last note: Soon I will be sending out the inaugural email list newsletter from this newfangled server I’m on, so if you want on and you’re not yet… sign up is on your right. If you already don’t like my writing and can’t stand the thought of more, there will be an option with each rare newsletter to unsubscribe. Ciao!

Hello friends of the great globe afar and near… tomorrow those near will be afar and those far will be near. Thus, we’re all neighbours and so meant to love each other. I have felt the love here in Europe, and also from as far as South Korea, where this english class of wonderful children have been singing my song every morning…

Quick news includes my upcoming showcases in Memphis, Tennessee for the North American Folk Alliance Feb 17-21… and keep updated on this site or myspace for more concert dates in Canada and Europe, and perhaps other planets. The current EU tour dates are below:

Friends… I’m listening to Bob Dylan’s new ‘Christmas In The Heart’ album. I’m losing it! It’s GREAT! haha only Dylan can pull that off. Merry Christmas sir Bob.

So, I’m in Newfoundland now for the last official show off the ‘Safe or Free’ Tour. Next up is the RIO Theatre show (see/click photo above) in Vancouver with Coco Love Alcorn on Dec 12, 2009.

I’ll be flying to Frankfurt, Germany on Christmas Day - a month. I’ve never been to Europe, so I’m hoping for an adventure and also to survive! If anyone would like to book a house concert with me, please be in touch… find the current dates above by clicking the ‘TOUR’ button.
