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.

  • Matt Nathanson IS thee best!!

    by kmosley on 10/22/13House of Blues Orlando - OrlandoRating: 5 out of 5

    CRAZY GOOD!!! BEST CONCERT EVER AND I SEE A LOT OF SHOWS!!!

  • Great voice, great entertainer

    by TalieL on 10/21/13Culture Room - Ft LauderdaleRating: 5 out of 5

    Matt was amazing! I've loved his music for years and seeing him perform was incredible. Listening to the stories about the meaning behind the songs was great. He is fun and funny. Most importantly, he sounded amazing. My husband who was unfamiliar with his music loved it as well and is now a big fan. Josh Radin was great too.

  • All good in VIP

    by Phishpantz on 10/21/13The Ritz Ybor - TampaRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show! Good venue in VIP area. Wish Josh would have played Today

  • Matt an Josh are amazing!

    by Megan013 on 10/21/13Culture Room - Ft LauderdaleRating: 5 out of 5

    By far the most amazing concert I've ever been two. Small intimate venue, got to meet both artists in person and front row seats. I could not have asked for more.

  • Matt Nathanson, a small Whitney Houston inside...

    by Bbust on 10/21/13Culture Room - Ft LauderdaleRating: 5 out of 5

    From the opening moments, using a memorizing harmony which the crowd immediately bagan singing along with, everyone was entranced. This was not the first time I'd seen a Matt Nathanson show, and certainly will not be the last. Like a fine wine, his shows continue to make leaps and bounds, grabbing every audience member, 14 - 69, an taking them on a journey through heartbreak, heart mend, and even an imaginary fantasy with a "girl in the Kinks shirt". I would recommend this show to anyone looking for great music, great story telling, great one liners, just a great overall experience. Two thumbs way up for Matt Nathanson. The opening act, Joshua Radin, could have captivated the audience on his own. The way his vocals blend with the music in perfect harmony is unmatched. With a very unique band setup, amazing lyrics, and enchanting melodies; he was worth going to see as a headliner. Overall, I was completely pleased with the show, and then some.

  • Joshua Radin and Matt Nathanson at Culture Room

    by Singer65 on 10/21/13Culture Room - Ft LauderdaleRating: 5 out of 5

    This concert was amazing. The venue was perfect and intimate. I got to see them in a way that I've never seen an artist before - up close and personal. They both spoke to the audience and were amazingly entertaining. I would go back again and again if they were to ever come back in this area again.

  • matt nathanson was great

    by dan19831 on 10/21/13The Ritz Ybor - TampaRating: 5 out of 5

    Great energy. Funny interludes. Nice lyrics and transitions.

  • Matt Nathanson @ Ritz in Tampa was AWESOME!!

    by Shellie4 on 10/20/13The Ritz Ybor - TampaRating: 5 out of 5

    I've seen Matt a couple times over the past year & this location was by far the best. I've seen him in Chicago as well as Napa & even though those were also smaller venue locations, the Ritz was outstanding. I'll be seeing him next month in Chicago & am hoping that sound, music, acoustics are all as they were in Tampa. What a fun fun fun night!!!

  • Matt Nathanson is a dynamic entertainer/artist.

    by Anonymous on 10/20/13The Ritz Ybor - TampaRating: 5 out of 5

    The venue was awesome. The performance was authentic and amazing! He even did a meet/greet at the end to anyone that wanted to hang around. Whom wouldn't love this guy? My husband went and also said that it was the best show he has been too!

  • by Anonymous on 10/20/13The Ritz Ybor - TampaRating: 5 out of 5

    They were both incredible and the Ritz was a great venue!

  • by Anonymous on 10/20/13The Ritz Ybor - TampaRating: 5 out of 5

    Matt always puts a an amazing show. This is my third time seeing Matt

  • MUST SEE!!!

    by ewestrop on 10/20/13The Ritz Ybor - TampaRating: 5 out of 5

    Love his music and personality. The Ritz is such an intimate venue that it is so easy for the entertainers to engage their audiences. This is just what Matt did. The 500 or so concert goers were quiet enough that Matt was able to play acoustically. This was my first time to see him, but definitely not the last.

  • Great energy and story telling!

    by Anonymous on 10/14/13House of Blues Houston - HoustonRating: 5 out of 5

    Great energy and story telling by the awesome singer-song writers!

  • Matt Nathanson is unforgettable and infectious!!!

  • by Anonymous on 10/13/13House of Blues Dallas - DallasRating: 5 out of 5

    Both Joshua Radin and Matt Nathanson were great. I have seen Matt several times and he never disappoints. Great Show!

  • by GermanGrrrl on 10/8/13Fox Theater - Oakland - OaklandRating: 5 out of 5

    Matt never disappoints with his songs and jokes. The Fox Theater is stunning!

  • Matt Rocked the House!

    by anno05 on 10/8/13Fox Theater - Oakland - OaklandRating: 5 out of 5

    Matt Nathanson is such an incredible performer. Wonderful material spanning early to current songs with bravado. He's a great story teller and weaves magic into his songs.

  • Matt Nathan Amazing as Alwasy

    by MissWSF on 10/7/13Fox Theater - Oakland - OaklandRating: 5 out of 5

    I love that Matt mixes his older songs with the newer ones. He has an awesome way to make you feel more connected with his random banter. I could watch him perform everyday and not be bored.

  • Matt Nathanson....Epic!

    by Morely on 10/7/13Fox Theater - Oakland - OaklandRating: 5 out of 5

    If you have never been to a Matt Nathanson concert you are missing out...big time. He is an enormously talented musician and singer not to mention hysterically funny in his banter with the crowd. Run...get his new album, "Last of the Great Pretenders". You will not be disappointed. He is living in SF so was really pumped for the show in his backyard. A huge talent and a huge personality! GO!
