WITH SPECIAL GUEST RACHEL YAMAGATA

Over his almost 30 year career, Matt Nathanson has evolved into one of the most applauded
songwriters and engaging performers on the music scene today. His sixth studio album, Some
Mad Hope, yielded his breakthrough multi-platinum hit "Come on Get Higher.” He followed up
with Modern Love, a critically acclaimed album (PopMatters called it "the closest a pop album
comes to perfection this year”) that garnered Nathanson two RIAA Gold Certified singles,
“Faster” & “Run (featuring Sugarland)”. His 2013 release, Last of The Great Pretenders,
debuted at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 while hitting #1 on iTunes' Alternative Albums chart. His
most recent album, Sings His Sad Heart spawned the hit single “Used To Be” which was a chart
climber - hitting top 20 at Adult Top 40. Throughout his career, Nathanson has been known to
cover songs and artists that inspire him. His Def Leppard approved cover album of their iconic
Pyromania called Pyromattia shot to #1 on iTunes Alternative chart and Def Leppard’s Joe
Elliott called the album “an amazing reinterpretation” with “heart & soul.” Last year he covered
U2’s Achtung Baby as a tribute to his all time favorite album. His holiday LP Farewell December,
includes "Blue Christmas” to “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” — as well as his somber
take on Joni Mitchell’s “River.” Nathanson has performed on The Howard Stern Show, Ellen,
Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Dancing with the Stars, Rachael Ray, and The CMA Awards to name a
few.
