Biography

Montreal based indie folk, singer- songwriter, producer, collective. On June 30th, The Franklin Electric will release Oh Brother, the collectives most heartfelt album yet. The Franklin Electric’s Jon Matte has seen the person closest to him, his brother, struggle with mental health, addiction and homelessness issues for most of his life. After years of shying away from discussing his story, Matte has infused the power of change and healing and a special type of raw honesty into his newest collection of songs. "Oh Brother is an ode to my brother and to the many people that may be going through similar issues,” The majority of Oh Brother was written in a small coastal town Nayarit, Mexico where Matte disappeared in the early days of the pandemic. In trying to come to terms with the challenges facing his family, Matte travelled from Mexico City, to Montreal, to Portugal to recapture equanimity. Three of the songs were co-produced by Felipe Castro in Mexico City, who Matte met on a blind studio date. At the heart of Oh Brother exists a bright light encouraging people to heal, evolve, and share their stories. “I've been lucky to have so much support from friends, family, and fans, and even my brother and I hope that Oh Brother can provide that support to strangers as they overcome and share their own narratives.” For Fans Of: Old Sea Brigade, Ben Howard, Geoffroy, Charlie Cunningham Half Moon Run, Charlotte Cardin, The Paper Kites, Sam Fender, Gregory Alan Isakov, Noah Kahan
