This latest gold for Matt Mays in the Best Rock Artist/Band category isn't a major shock. He's a powerhouse, simple as that, and one of Halifax's longtime favourite musicians. But he can still surprise us: For the first time ever, the former Matt Mays & El Torpedo frontman also took home BOH gold honours as Best Solo Artist. Don't worry, though, the duke of Dartmouth won't let all this success go to his head. “I used to play a lot of open mics in front of nobody, so I never get used to the support and the love I get,” he told The Coast in 2017. “It never gets old and every year it feels even better, even more of a tighter, warmer hug.”
