Tipped Tunes proudly welcomes summersets—the acclaimed collaborative project of singer-songwriters Kalle Mattson and Andrew Sowka—to the stage at Elgin United on Friday, April 24. Known for their elegant vocal blend, lush melodies, and evocative storytelling, summersets offer a fresh, nostalgic take on modern folk-pop that is both intimate and cinematic.
Originally conceived as a duo project paying homage to classic 1960s and ’70s duet records, summersets weave warm harmonies, vintage tones, and delicately crafted arrangements into songs that feel timeless yet unmistakably contemporary. Mattson, a Polaris Music Prize nominee celebrated for his deeply affecting songwriting, and Sowka, whose tender vocals and lyrical sensitivity bring a distinct emotional resonance, create a sound that is textured, atmospheric, and deeply human.
Live, summersets are known for performances that are understated yet immersive—rich with mood, honesty, and connection. Their songs explore themes of memory, longing, and the quiet moments that define us, delivered with the kind of chemistry and sincerity that draws audiences close.
Set in the warm acoustics of Elgin United, this concert promises to highlight the duo’s skill for crafting songs that feel like short films—layered, evocative, and beautifully told.
Fans of modern folk, indie Americana, and heartfelt songwriting won’t want to miss this rare chance to experience summersets in this intimate, listening room setting.
