Matt Nathanson has announced his North American tour with special guest Joshua Radin beginning this fall. The string of dates, kicking off on September 20th in Portland, OR at the Crystal Ballroom includes stops in Los Angeles, CA at the Wiltern Theater October 3rd; Oakland, CA at the Fox Theater October 4th and New York’s Terminal 5 on October 30. Tour dates listed below with additional dates to be announced soon.
The tour follows the July 16th release of Matt’s new album, Last of the Great Pretenders. The new album’s first single “Mission Bells” is already #10 on the Triple A radio chart. Last of the Great Pretenders is the follow up release to 2011’s Modern Love which debuted at #17 on The Billboard 200.
Produced by Mike Viola and Jake Sinclair, Last of the Great Pretenders marks a dramatic progression for the artist. Songs like “Earthquake Weather,” “Kill the Lights,” “Kinks Shirt,” “Sunday New York Times” and first single “Mission Bells” are precisely cinematic as Nathanson stirs the material with deftly placed pop-cultural references and vivid details drawn from his keen observations of everyday life, while topping each song with an emphatic and seductive chorus hook.
