Matt Costa involved in US theft

Posted on 25 February 2008 by admin

Matt Costa was involved in a car accident and theft late last week.

The US singer, who is due to tour Australia next month, was forced to cancel a show in Madison, WI on February 21 after his van and trailer slid off the road.

Costa was apparently unharmed though his piano player, Jacob Sahagen was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries.

The car accident is the second incident in the space of a month.

Earlier this month Costa and his band members were victims of theft when pieces of musical gear and equipment were stolen from the inside of The Garrick Centre in Winnipeg, MB.

“The items had been locked inside The Garrick Centre for overnight storage as this was reportedly safer than leaving them in our trailer on the streets of Winnipeg,” Costa posted on his myspace page.

The thieves took off with the following:

1 each – Gibson J-45 Acoustic Guitar, Natural
1 each – Gibson ES335 Electric Guitar, Seafoam Blue
1 each – Epiphone EL-OO Acoustic Guitar, Sunburst, w/ Seymour Duncan Mag Mic Pickup
1 each – Fender Custom Shop Nocaster Relic Electric Guitar, Blonde
1 each – Fender Custom Shop 1963 Telecaster Relic Electric Guitar, Lake Placid Blue
1 each – 1953 Supro Lap Steel Guitar, Salmon Mother Of Pearl
1 each – Kentucky Mandolin, Sunburst
1 each – Fender Custom Shop 59′ Relic Precision Bass Blonde
1 each – Ashdown EVOII500 Bass Head w/ Road Case
1 each – 1973 Marshall Lead Bass 20 Guitar Head w/ Orange Anvil Case
1 each – Fulltone Tube Tape Echo, Black, w/ Road Case
1 each – Calzone Briefcase w/ Boss Tuner, Sans Amp & Three Monster Cables
1 each – Anvil Briefcase
1 each – Countryman D.I.
