The Franklin Electric

New single “There’s a Fire” Out Now

The Franklin Electric is Montreal-based heartfelt indie folk project led by singer-songwriter/producer Jon Matte. Evolving from a collective of friends, Jon remains true to the essence and heart that inspired him from the very beginning. Ten years ago, Jon started something he couldn’t fully understand at the time. What began as a way to make sense of his thoughts and emotions has grown into something far bigger than he ever imagined. For Jon, music was always an outlet—a way to face life’s mirrors, express himself, and let go of the things he’d been holding onto. At first, it was selfish, but these songs aren’t just his anymore; they’ve found their way into the lives of people of all ages & corners of the globe. In the summer of 2024, he embarked on a solo European run of shows, playing in the most magical, unexpected venues—from an underground lake to the peaks of the Swiss Alps. Along the way, opening for Salt Tree and a string of sold out show supporting Amistat.
2025 continued, with a Europe & UK headline tour, a string of Canadian shows, and the release of Victory Songs LP featuring singles River Run & How You Holding On. 2026 started with a brand new single Can’t Find Your Way Out, the first single off a new EP coming out this spring along side a headline EU Uk Tour
