Matt Patershuk Shares "Cutlass Supreme" | 'DOG. TIGER. HORSES' Out Sep 19th

Matt Patershuk today shares the second single, “Cutlass Supreme”, from his forthcoming album DOG. TIGER. HORSES., out September 19th via Black Hen Music.

One of Canada’s unsung musical heroes, Patershuk’s music offers a priceless snapshot reflecting the small moments we all share. “Cutlass Supreme” is an ode to holding on to a little piece of freedom. “I’m always writing songs about birds, horses and cars,” explains Patershuk. “I see them as archetypes for a certain kind of freedom that’s not fully knowable. They all have a type of unpredictable character that makes them even more fun to try to get close to.”

DOG. TIGER. HORSES. follows the critically acclaimed 2021 An Honest Effort, which earned the La Glace, Alberta based songwriter of the year nomination at The Canadian Folk Music Awards and continues the music dialogue between Patershuk and Steve Dawson, the Juno winning, Nashville based guitarist and producer.

DOG. TIGER. HORSES. bubbles with an organic energy that comes from recording spontaneously and mostly live off the floor during their sessions in Nashville. Like Matt, Steve and the top notch musicians that he gathered for the session favour an approach that relies on feel and authenticity, rather than perfection. The core band of Jeremy Holmes (bass), Jay Bellerose (drums), Steve Dawson (acoustic and electric guitars, pedal steel, weissenborn), and Tim O’Brien (fiddle, banjo, mandolin) play with an ease and confidence that makes the listener feel like they’ve been playing these songs for their whole lives rather than creating the music as it unfolded in the studio. Along the way, Fats Kaplin (fiddle, mandolin), Dave Jacques, Mike Bub (bass) and Justin Amaral (drums) dropped in to create some tasty understated rhythms on a few tracks, while Ruth Moody and Ana Egge added background vocals.

DOG. TIGER. HORSES. is out on September 19th 2025 Black Hen Music.
