Matt Nathanson - General

I was going through some digital photo albums and came across something that was both memorable and something I haven't been to again in a while. For anyone who knows me, aside from my kids there are exactly five other things that I can not live without! One of them is music!

I don't know about you but music isn't just a source of entertainment, I feel that depending on life circumstances it can give you an out of body experience or even sometimes is the only way you or someone can express through a specific song how they're feeling. For example, heart break or feeling lonesome I'm sure many of you have that go to song on a playlist or that comes on the radio and just allows you the feeling of expression. Or maybe you're going through some struggles in a romantic relationship, the right love song can sometimes mend the emotions or a guy can end up dedicating a song that reminds him of that special someone. Regardless of the reason or life circumstance, music gives way to emotions.

So this post is about Matt Nathanson. I must admit that I haven't seen or come across any of his new stuff (should he have anything out there) but I always remember fondly the "Come Get Higher" album he released years ago! Definitely before even my kids were a thought probably! I remember it well...It was at the House of Blues in the Downtown Dallas area. A venue big enough for events and music concerts but small enough that you don't get annoyed and can actually have good seats while enjoying a performance. As a performer, Matt is one of the rare artists who actually sounds in person like he does in his albums, so his performance overall on his music was wonderful to hear! I wasn't disappointed. 

Matt as a performer in general, I was thoroughly surprised when he allowed for a meet and greet after his show. He's super down to earth and was very sweet in person. Didn't once come off as a douche or cocky and was even nice enough to carry conversations with those he met. You could see his bodyguard close by but it was some sort of deterrent or Matt himself didn't seem phased by it and carried himself comfortably so that anyone around was also as ease. My sister and I ended up getting his autograph and our pictures taken. It was fun.


Here is just one of the songs I love the most from him...enjoy!
