SUMMARY:Mixed Tape: Grand Piano Show featuring Matthew Presidente
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver’s piano man, Matthew Presidente is an innovative rock/pop songwriter whose dynamic performances captivate audiences whether solo or with his full band. A high-energy, piano-driven artist, he forges a deep connection with his audience through interactive, emotionally charged and passionate live shows.\nPraised by Xtra Magazine (Vancouver) as “one of — if not — the best singer/songwriters in our LGBT scene,” Matthew made the bold decision to leave his full-time career in 2022 to dedicate himself to music. Since then, he has re-entered the studio with his band, releasing new music, touring across British Columbia, and recently receiving a Creative BC Career Development grant. In 2024 alone, Matthew performed over 100 shows, including at prominent venues such as The Fox, The Rickshaw, Guilt & Co, The Shipyards, and The Hollywood Theatre. He has gained enthusiastic recognition on Pride stages throughout British Columbia and Alberta.\nMatthew co-wrote and performed in the musical Pretty Package Piano Bar at the 2022 Kelowna Fringe, collaborating with drag artists Toddy and Ella Lamaroux. Most recently, he completed a ten-city tour across BC, including three Peak Pride weekends, spreading queer entertainment and advocacy throughout the province.\nAlong with producer Matt Roach (RainCity Recorders), Matthew released his anticipated full-length album Chosen Sun in January 2025. The album explores themes of life transitions, queer survival, personal empowerment, and self-evolution, and includes the singles “Rainbow Tree” and “The Rhythm.” The album has garnered over 100k streams across platforms in it’s first month.\nJoin Mathhew and friends for a grand piano show!\nDETAILS:\nFriday, October 10, 2025\n7:00-9:30pm\nThe Chapel at St. Andrew’s-Wesley United Church (SW corner of Burrard & Nelson St.)\nTickets $10 online or at door\n19+ event (bar & snacks available for purchase)\n
