On May 12 Kristian Matsson released Dark Bird Is Home, his fourth album as The Tallest Man On Earth (out via Dead Oceans). It’s It’s his first album with a full band playing behind him, resulting in a rich and fuller record than fans have ever received.
He’s in New York this week to play a set of shows here in support of the record. Tomorrow night he’ll kick off the two night residency with a delightfully intimate showing at Music Hall of Williamsburg, a much more personal performance than what will likely come at Beacon Theatre the following night, although that’s not to say it won’t be a special show in its own right.
The Music Hall show is set to be an unforgettable one, as it’s likely one of the last times we’ll be able to catch him in such a tiny setting. It’s going to be interesting to hear the new songs alongside with the more stripped down material from the earlier parts of his career. This will be my first time seeing him perform live, after previously missing all his past performances being away at college. It’s been a long time coming and I know he won’t disappoint.
Tickets for MHOW are sold out, but tickets for Beacon Theatre are still available.
