Cactus Cafe

Small venue. Very intimate show.

Fantastic show at a wonderful venue!

Mr. Shiny never fails to entertain.

Matt is a great talent and puts on a great show. His voice is soulful and beautiful. His guitar playing is just out of this world. His stage presence is very entertaining. I was thrilled to see him for the second time in such a formerly iconic venue as the Cactus Cafe. I still have hope that the Cactus will resume bringing in talent like Matt Anderson like they used to do. The management of his show by the Cactus left a lot to be desired. The show showed up on his calendar back in November 2022 but did not show up on the Cactus calendar until late January. Then, the show was listed as a "free show" with no explanation. Other shows on Matt's tour were not free and were sold out (as they should have been). It was not possible to speak to anyone at the Cactus to get clarification. After deciding to not try to get into a free show, I decided at the last minute to risk being to get in. I was a singleton and showed up just after the doors open and was able to get a seat. (I had decided not to go since Cactus had fumbled the ball so badly in getting the show on its calendar.) I have been a fan of Matt Anderson since he put on an outstanding show at the Calgary Folk Fest several years ago. I hope Cactus brings him back again and again and / or he gets gigs in Austin at more organized venues. He is superb and not to be missed!

A true talent and bad a** mofo

VIP, awesome!!

Amazing performer and really connected to his Audience. I would see him again for sure.

The show was tremendous, as was the venue....I traveled from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida specifically to see this show, and it was well worth the trip....👍👍👍👍👍

Amazing night of songs and stories!
