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.

  • Most entertaining artist!

    by Lolo on 2023-03-03The Great Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Matt’s shows are always quail parts hilarious comedy and beautiful music. This man should be more famous

  • Fantastic Show, great Venue

    by AnnefromTO on 2015-10-27The Great Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Matt Nathanson was, as always, funny and smart. Love the audience banter throughout the show. I love the new album, but it was great to hear some of the old favorites. I never miss a chance to see Matt live. The Great Hall was a good venue to see him in, we had balcony tickets and so we had a great unobstructed view all night.

  • Matt Rocked again

    by windyday22 on 2015-10-06The Great Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Awesome venue......he was amazing, so funny, talented and really got into a groove with the audience Loved his rendition of Tragically Hip Will go again.

  • Matt Nathanson & Gavin Degraw made a fan out of me

    by Al26 on 2015-05-28Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5

    I wasn't sure what to expect with this doubleheader because I only had known a few songs each of both of these artists, but on this night, they rocked the stage and made a new fan out of me. Both of them were spectacular and had the crowd singing along every step of the way.

  • Unbelievable

    by trainee on 2014-07-22Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    We came. We saw. They conquered. Perfect in every way.

  • Gavin DeGraw and Matt Nathanson, amazing together!

    by JennierC on 2014-07-20Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    I went to this show mainly to see Gavin DeGraw, and as always, he doesn't disappoint. He's a great performer and gives a lively show. I only knew one or 2 of Matt Nathanson's songs before the show and like I said, I really only went to the show for Gavin. Matt's performance won me over and he gained a fan that night! He's very entertaining and interacts with the audience during the show. We ended up meeting him after the show and he is so nice and down to earth. It was my first Matt Nathanson show, but it definitely will not be my last. If you get a chance to catch either artist, go, you won't be disappointed!

  • Matt Nathanson and Gavin Degraw

    by ReeseHart on 2014-07-19Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5

    This event was amazing. Matt Nathanson is HILARIOUS in person and was so interactive with the audience. Gavin Degraw was great as well. Really confident. Sound academy is a great venue, with lots of outdoor space and a beautiful view over lake Ontario, and of the Toronto skyline.

  • Matt Nathanson is so crazy polite in person.

    by penfille on 2014-07-19Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    I brought my 13-year-old daughter to see Matt. It was her first concert because Selena Gomez from a mile away doesn't count. I didn't realize how often I must play his music because she knew (and sang along) the words to more than half the songs! Anyway, Matt sounded awesome. He was funny and so entertaining. He actually tries to get the crowd involved. He made me (the whole audience, I believe) feel like being there is exactly where he wanted to be. No small feat. Had my kid laughing her face off, too. What more could a mother ask of a rockstar? Then I bought a t-shirt and was handed a meet and greet wristband. I thought it was a keepsake, but no I was told where to go and wait. So after all the musical fun and shenanigans, we got to meet Matt. He shook our hands, was gracious, kind, and so very polite. I'm over forty, but I think I have a crush on him now.

  • by Anonymous on 2013-11-10The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 3 out of 5

    Joshua Radin was fabulous - I wish he played longer. I liked Matt Nathanson, but wasn't blown away by the playlist. It was tough to stand for that long - seating would have been better at this venue.

  • by Sjchan on 2013-11-09The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Matt's show was fantastic! I'm already a huge fan of his music and it was such a treat to see him live. He's charming, funny, quick and crazy talented. He was also a really good sport about accommodating his show to account for two young children who were in the audience. He and his band were wonderful! I'm already looking forward to him coming back to Toronto so that I can go see him again!
