Listen to Matt Nathanson

Last night I headed over to Sixth & I for a concert. The concert was held in a historic synagogue. Which translated to no beer. If this had been a concert for Yanni or the Blue Man group, I would have freaked out at this prohibition...fortunately it was for a folk/rock guitarist named Matt Nathanson.

For those of you who do not know him, Nathanson is a very talented singer/songwriter. As much as I like his music, his real forte comes in the form of live shows. Nathanson is hilarious, he frequently banters about sex, heavy metal and his favorite shows like Gossip Girl. Considering the amount of cursing and graphic imagery at past shows, I was curious to see how Nathanson would handle being in such a holy place. He did not fail me, as he arrived on stage he observed that we were in a "fuckin' synagogue". That was only the beginning.

Ok, I am not going to give a full re-cap of the night. Know this, Nathanson is talented, hilarious and in touch with his audience. He also keeps ticket prices low. He is currently on a Fall tour and could very well be on his way to your city.

I wholeheartedly endorse Matt Nathanson. I am not one to do this regularly, but I promise you will get your money's worth.
