On this week’s episode of Acoustic Café, we welcome back Matt Andersen, playing songs from his new album, “Life Is Just A Vapor.” From New Brunswick, Andersen made the new album with Bahamas, creating a very different sound for this blues rock singer-songwriter.

Also featured, a fun ’80s metal cover, in-studio archives from I’m With Her, Keb’ Mo’, Jack Johnson and more!
