Graventown
A kindness, positivity, mental health and music-magic-based informal conversational town hall created, authored, and produced by award winning Canadian singer songwriter and ex-journalist Matty McKechnie (known musically as Graven). Whether he has acclaimed or interesting pals, comedians, musicians or artists to interview - or even if it's just a solo-yolo convo that he "sends into the universe", Matty would always want you to know that you - whoever and wherever you are - are ALWAYS welcome in Graventown.

Holy cow, my dudes. I have a real hot pocket of a cheesy saucy episode in store for you today. Matt Mays is a Canadian indie rock singer-songwriter and was the lead singer of Matt Mays & El Torpedo (a rock music group based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and New York City). Previously, Mays was a member of the Canadian indie band The Guthries and was born in Hamilton, Ontario, but grew up in Nova Scotia. With 10 incredibly varied musical releases under his belt, Matt has collaborated with Canadian icons like Sam Roberts, Kathleen Edwards, and the acclaimed singer songwriter Adam Baldwin is Mays’ main guitarist. His 2014 album “Coyote” took home the JUNO award for best rock album and he and his band played on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” in 2006. It was a pleasure to chat with my friend Matt. Thank you for being you. Stay safe and be as kind as you can.

My new album "Geographics" is releasing (on my Bandcamp page only) through late January into late February 2026, and every Monday and Friday of those months, I'll have a new song up for you to digest into your ear canals. You can preorder the digital, cd and vinyl versions of the album, (which helps me greatly) but I understand that cash is tight all over the map, so you can also order a five dollar Geographics sticker. 5 beans! This album is really special to me (as my friends Melissa Payne and Charles Austin played all over it) and I hope you'll come along for the supersonic ride. Follow me @gravencanada on all the socials, and check my website to see when I'm playing live in a town near you. Join Graventown today to support yours truly for only 8 clams a month.
