About

Matt Nathanson is a folk-rock singer and songwriter from Lexington, Massachusetts. As a solo artist, Nathanson has released 13 studio albums since launching with his 1993 debut, Please. His fifth album, 2003’s Beneath These Fireworks, served as his first major label release, though his 2007 follow-up, Some Mad Hope, achieved his first mainstream chart success behind the Hot 100-charting single “Come On Get Higher,” which would later be certified triple-platinum. Nathanson would hit the Hot 100 twice more with “Faster” and the Sugarland collaboration “Run” from 2011’s Modern Love. He also reached a new career peak at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 for 2013’s Last of the Great Pretenders. In 2022, Nathanson released his 13th album, Boston Accent, capping a prolific run of three full-length releases in three years. Nathanson’s music and extensive covers catalog have appeared across film and television, including The Bachelor, One Tree Hill and the American Pie franchise.

  • best show hands down!

    by jpiccoch on 11/5/13The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    His tours just get better and better! I have been to quite a few shoes and this o.e tops the cake! Love matt nathanson!

  • Awesome!

    by sockmonkeypuppet on 11/5/13The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    The entire experience was wonderful - the pre-show with Joshua Radin was sweet and lovely, we got great seats in the balcony, the venue staff was a lot of fun - and the concert was awesome! I knew more about Joshua Radin's music, so I was surprised he wasn't the headliner. His part of the show was great, and Matt Nathanson was fantastic! What a fun performer - he really throws himself into the show, connects with the fans, and seems to be having a helluva good time - as did we!

  • Rocked is an understatement

    by Link15 on 11/5/13The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    I have been following Matt for about 5 years now. I have seen many shows over the years, however he always amazes me. Each show is different, and entertaining to say the least. I usually keep an ear out for the people around me who have never seen him, and only know 1 song, and they go home hooked. This show in particular was AMAZING! He rocked the house hard!

  • by Anonymous on 11/5/13The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    I've seen Matt Nathanson play live at least 7 or 8 times. Every show he gives is energetic, funny, and a great mix of his old and new music. Matt clearly loves being on stage, sharing his music with people, and his enthusiasm is infectious.

  • Better every year

    by deedizz on 11/5/13The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    Seriously, i see matt every year when he is in philly, and every year i always wish i had snatched up a ticked to where ever he is the next night Cant get enough. Had me in stitches. Great story teller, and wickedly passionate about music and preforming.

  • matt nathanson....amazing!!!

    by kira88hick on 11/5/13The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    By far the best concert by far. Will be going again withoit a doubt.

  • Disappointing

    by Sally5678 on 11/3/13Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 1 out of 5

    The show started on time, with Joshua Radin, who was pretty good and warmed up the crowd. However, after Joshua's set, it just started to go downhill fast. Why does it take over 30 minutes to change sets? Why do you need to replace the microphones that Joshua Radin had just used so well? Why do you need to tune 5 guitars? Why must Matt gyrate so furiously? Why does Matt close his eyes the entire time he's singing? Why did he have to talk about testicles? Overall, I felt that this was one of the worst concerts I have ever been to and I regret my purchase.

  • Matt Nathanson was amazing!!!!

    by MattLover on 11/3/13Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    The show was amazing... Joshua Radin opened with such great energy and when Matt and the band came on we were ready to rock ... And we did. From beginning to end it was the perfect mix of old and new songs. Great jokes and as always Matt made wonderful conversation with all of us throughout. Best pre-Halloween evening ever. And the guys even dressed up as Poison. Please come back to NYC again soon!!!

  • by Run240 on 11/3/13Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    As always Matt Nathanson put on an amazing show! His live performances are a mix of incredible music and stand-up comedy. His concerts are always the best and he is a truly spectacular artist.

  • by Anonymous on 11/2/13Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    Start time wasn't as advertised but it was an embarrassment of riches between Radin and Nathanson.

  • Amazing!!!

    by FunkyFrankie on 11/2/13Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Matt Nathanson is always great in his shows! Joshua Radin was amazing too!

  • Matt Nathanson is a gem

    by KristaT on 11/2/13Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    As always, Matt Nathanson and company were excellent. Along with his witty (and slightly pervy) anecdotes and banter, his live show is always fun every single time. Great set, great crowd, great venue. Overall wonderful. And opener Joshua Radin was wonderful too.

  • Simply Great

    by KellyRose on 11/2/13Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Both artists were amazing. Joshua Radin is one of my favorites and wish he played longer but overall everything was really entertaining. Both artists are really good live. Such a great venue, smaller and more personal. Would definitely go there for another show.

  • Show was amazing!

    by LABLAB78 on 11/2/13Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Both performers were awesome and engaged the crowd wonderfully. They were entertaining in all senses of the word

  • Matt Nathanson and Joshua Radin were incredible!

    by Tara5354 on 10/28/13Center Stage Theatre - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    This was one of the best concerts! The artists were amazing and the venue was perfect!

  • Matt was great as always!

    by lilsnow52 on 10/28/13Center Stage Theatre - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    Matt put on another great show. His comedic nature makes watching him live amazing and a lot of fun. If he's in your town go see him!

  • Matt Nathanson and Joshua Radin Rocked it!
