About

MAT KEARNEY IN CONCERT:

Contemporary Christian rocker Mat Kearney has enthralled fans of inspirational and secular music alike with his unique blend of rock, pop, and hip hop. Kearney's emotional tunes are regularly featured on TV dramas like Grey's Anatomy and Kyle XY, and it's easy to see why -- his live performances reveal him to be a deeply spiritual soul whose heart-wrenching songs hold universal appeal. Whether he's crooning along to the acoustic strumming of "Breathe In Breathe Out" or kicking things up a notch with the hip hop-influenced "Ships in the Night", Kearney is a passionate and dynamic performer who always connects with fans on his must-see tours.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Mat Kearney was born in Eugene, OR, but it wasn't until he attended college in Chico, CA that he discovered his passion for music. Following a trip to Nashville, Kearney picked up his roommate's guitar and begin plucking out tunes, and before long he was performing at local coffee shops. He linked up with producer Robert Marvin, and together they moved to Nashville and recorded Kearney's 2004 debut album Bullet. The record attracted the attention of execs at Columbia Records, who signed the budding singer just in time for the release of his 2006 sophomore album Nothing Left to Lose. That record was a hit, peaking at No. 2 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and receiving placement in several major TV shows. Kearney's next album, 2009's City of Black & White, topped the Christian Albums chart, and in 2011 he topped both the Christian chart and Top Rock Albums chart with his fourth album Young Love. An inspiring and emotional performer known for his soulful voice, Kearney continues to treat ticket buyers to passionate and moving shows on tour.

    Mat Kearney was solid

    by KMBKMB on 7/7/09The Intersection - Grand Rapids

    I thought the show was exceptional. I thought they played hard and gave it their all. All of the band was sweaty by the end which tells me they went for it. A great show, for a really great price. I hope that more bands follow their lead and play some smaller venues...it was a very intimate setting, which went along with their style of music and entertaining.

    Eric McCarley Rocked out

    by Stevo on 7/6/09The Intersection - Grand Rapids

    Mat Kearney did his thing. I bought these tickets for an event to surprise my wife with. There were no surprises during his show, and never interacted with the crowd other than to introduce his band briefly. Still was a pleasant show. Opening Act Field was too long, so I'm posting it here ---- Erin McCarley did an amazing job. I enjoyed her show, having to play along to a track because she didn't have a full band with her more than Kearney's. The raspy voice, the pixy-esque cuteness. She did a phenomenal job, and the beat-box version of doo-do-doo doo was surprising, fun, sexy, the whole thing. Only chill I got in my spine all night.

    Mat was great; acoustics, not so.

    by CrazyHorse on 7/6/09The Intersection - Grand Rapids

    Mat's performance was worth the wait. Intersection's acoustics leave a bit to be desired. Bass was too much and vocals were drowned out. Not sure how they can improve it - maybe with some ceiling baffles of some kind.

    Mat Kearney was Wonderful!!!

    by AMiracle520 on 7/4/09Bluebird Nightclub - Bloomington

    I have been a huge fan of Mat Kearney for years and am so excited he is finally gaining a mainstream audience. I loved to small venue which allowed for Mat to headline. He put on an amazing show and showcased all his musical talents. He had a great time working the crowd. It was a truly wonderful time and I can't wait to see him live again.

    Mat puts on a fantastic show.

    by MelissaK on 7/3/09The Intersection - Grand Rapids

    Mat Kearney was a great show. He played a good variety of his songs, and there were no big gaps in between. It was high energy, and definitely worth the price of the ticket. I'd see him again in a heartbeat.

    Undeniably awesome!

    by nhutch79 on 7/3/09The Intersection - Grand Rapids

    I saw Matt Kearney with John Mayer a few years ago when he was in Grand Rapids @ the Van Andel- he was great then, but he put on an amazing performance last night at the Intersection. For a small venue, the sound was perfect- not too loud, especially for a sold out show. He did a great mix of new music and older music and played it all with alot of energy! His band was also high energy and passionate about the music.

    Fantastic!

    by MSWgirl2010 on 7/3/09The Intersection - Grand Rapids

    I had not seen Mat Kearney in concert before, and this concert totally rocked! The band and songs played were great; there were no visible technical glitches. There were a couple songs I was hoping for that Mat didn't do, but I'm sure that's the case for every concert. Erin McCarly was great as an opener! The only two suggestions I would have would be to have Mat at a larger venue next time he comes to Grand Rapids. The Intersection was great, but it was packed. And there was quite a bit of time between when Erin finished her set and Mat come on. I know my friends and I were starting to wonder what was taking so long. But overall it was a fantastic concert!

    Kearney is Amazing!

    by JenD on 7/2/09Bluebird Nightclub - Bloomington

    If you like Mat Kearney at all you will absolutely fall in love with him at a live performance. The show was better than I could have imagined, he did a wonderful job with vocals, guitar, and he interacted with the crowd wonderfully which is rare to find. Mat Kearney put on one of the best show's I've seen in quite some time.

    Mat Kearney = best concert I've ever be to

    by jjmj on 7/1/09Bluebird Nightclub - Bloomington

    The Mat Kearney concert in Bloomington last night was AMAZING! He is such a soulful and honest preformer. His music is just beautiful, the lyrics are so true and sweet, whether you knew every word or had never heard him before. His band was awesome, the ROCKED OUT! And He seemed like a very easy going, humble person and that definetly comes thru in his music, but also in his stage presence. He's not a diva, just a guy doing what he loves and hanging out with everyone there and so thankful that we all came and enjoyed it. VERY GENUINE and GRACIOUS... The place was packed, but I would go back in a second if I could !

    Mat Kearney ROCKS!

    by Lawrence on 7/1/09Bluebird Nightclub - Bloomington

    Mat and his band absolutely rocked the house at the bird. Small venues are absolutely THE best place to see a major artist perform. Was able to walk up and be literally 10 feet away for the whole show. Played for 1:45. Can tell he's really invested in his music and incredibly talented.....from guitar to piano to rapping, singing....wow! Band was excellent. Opening act (Erin McCarly) was VERY good as well.
