About

THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH IN CONCERT:
 
Kristian Matsson, the Swedish singer-songwriter behind indie folk outfit The Tallest Man on Earth, is a master of achieving maximum emotional effect with minimal elements. At his live shows Matsson rarely takes the stage with anything more than his world-wise voice and acoustic guitar, and though his approach is spare, the resulting sound is never lacking in depth or nuance. His evocative lyrics and experienced fingerpicking are a perfect marriage, conjuring up vast landscapes and narrative histories that remain with audiences long after the encore. Whether he's chatting up the crowd between songs or inspiring awe with moving tunes like "The Dreamer", Matsson is a charismatic performer who always captivates ticket buyers with his intimate performances on tour.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Even though he was born in Dalarna, Sweden, Kristian Matsson grew up playing guitar and listening to American folk icons like Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie. After being exposed to Nick Drake in his early twenties, Matsson adopted an open tuning method that has since characterized his music. He cut his teeth fronting Swedish folk rock band Montezumas in the mid-'00s, and in 2006 he made his debut as The Tallest Man on Earth with a self-titled EP. He signed to Mexican Records soon after and released his 2008 debut album Shallow Graves, a critical masterstroke that earned him comparisons to his idol Bob Dylan. Tours with Jon Vanderslice and Bon Iver followed, and in 2010 Matsson released his sophomore album The Wild Hunt to a Top 40 spot on the Swedish charts.  His third album, 2012's There's No Leaving Now, cracked the Top 40 in the US, leading to a string of high-profile festival appearances including Bonnaroo and Sasquatch. With his highly anticipated fourth album Dark Bird Is Home generating buzz in 2015, Matsson is set to deliver another round of rousing performances on the road.

  • The Tallest Man on Earth @ the Commodore

    by Hamish on 2025-10-25Commodore Ballroom - VancouverRating: 5 out of 5

    Firstly the Commodore Ballroom is one of the great venues left to see live music in Vancouver,. The Tallest Man on Earth is a wonderful musician and performer, if you appreciate and enjoy live music a definite must see.

  • stage presence is unreal!

    by Steven on 2025-10-25Commodore Ballroom - VancouverRating: 5 out of 5

    There is no show like one from The Tallest Man on Earth. He puts his whole should into every song and performance and no two are quite the same.

  • Door were at 7

    by Am on 2025-10-25Commodore Ballroom - VancouverRating: 4 out of 5

    Doors were at 7, but the ticket said it started at 7. So we rushed there and really didn’t need to because he didn’t come on until 9! But we love love love TMOE. And the commodore is a great venue.

  • Great show (as always)

    by Dimol on 2025-10-15Le Studio TD - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    Loved the intimate setting of the studio TD, and the great solo performance of our dear Kristian Matsson & his many instruments. Long may he sings !

  • Andrea Van Kampen 👎🏻

    by Kd on 2023-10-02Commodore Ballroom - VancouverRating: 3 out of 5

    Did not enjoy seeing Andrea Van Kampen having a hissy fit on stage.

  • Breathtaking!

  • Really solid show

    by Azza on 2023-09-23The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    One of the best shows I’ve ever been to! I’ve seen him a few times but this was the best yet!

  • Do not miss this

    by JR on 2023-09-18Théâtre Beanfield - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    Even if you don't know his music, WHAT A PERFORMANCE. Man belongs on a stage. Mind blowing. And really, really fun.

  • Best venue
