At the pub on Thursday, two talented artists from Montreal, Patrick Lehman Duo.
It was in college that Patrick decided to form a band to perform the songs that he'd been writing since his teenage years. Once in University, Patrick was asked to perform at the Montreal International Jazz Festival's 2006 Big Event --- a Paul Simon Tribute Concert, featuring Daniel Lanois, Sam Roberts, Colin James, Elvis Costello, Holly Cole, Jamie Cullum, Arianne Moffatt and others. The show, attended by 150,000 people, was subsequently broadcast on Bravo, ArTV and CBC television.
Having performed all over Montreal and Toronto, Patrick launched his first full length album to a packed house on May 27th 2007 at Petit Cafe Campus in Montreal. The album received notable airplay across Canada, USA and France and prompted Patrick to tour during the summer, including performances in the International FestiBlues, Mont Tremblant Rhythm Festival, The Montreal FunkFest and the CTV Television 'Telethon of the Stars'.
After signing with Justin Time Records in 2010, Patrick's latest CD ‘The Electric Soul Kitchen Vol.1’, was release in stores across Canada and online on March 8th 2011. Lehman wrote, arranged and produced each and every track. "Prove Myself to You" and “I Could Be", two new songs from the new CD, have already been in rotation on CBC Radio 2 and has been climbing the Hot-AC charts. The album was in the top ten Soul chart in Chart Attack National magazine within just two weeks of its release. Most recently Patrick won first place at the International FestiBlues 2010 'Rising Star' award.
Patrick will offer you some Soul, Blues, Funk and Rock'N'Roll. This duo is a must!!

Matt Track Duo
Acoustic Rock, Folk
For the second time at the Chelsea Pub, songwriter Matt Track with his bassist.
Matt is an acoustic guitar lover. Furthermore, the construction of each of his song actually begins with a thick and strong layer of it. He likes to put enough details in it so that the songs can be just as interesting to hear solo as they will be full band.
Having played in rock bands while he was a teenager, it's by discovering artists such as John Mayer, Dave Matthews and Ben Harper that the interest for the acoustic has grown for him. After a few years giving acoustic live performances of songs from these artists, he started writing his own music, creating an interesting blend from these influences.
