Based in San Francisco, Matt Nathanson has evolved into one of the most applauded songwriters and engaging performers on the music scene today. His 2007 album, Some Mad Hope, yielded his breakthrough multi-platinum hit “Come on Get Higher.” His 2013 release, Last of The Great Pretenders, debuted at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 while hitting #1 on iTunes’ Alternative Albums chart. Nathanson has performed on The Howard Stern Show, Ellen, CONAN, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Dancing with the Stars, Rachael Ray, and The CMA Awards to name a few.

His latest album, Sings His Sad Heart spawned hit single “Used To Be” which was a chart climber –  hitting top 20 at Adult Top 40 and is still growing on streaming clocking a million streams a month. SHSH comes off the heels of Nathanson’s Def Leppard approved cover album of their iconic Pyromania called Pyromattia which shot to #1 on iTunes Alternative chart upon its release. Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott called the album “an amazing reinterpretation” with “heart & soul.” SHSH is the follow up to Nathanson’s last original album, Show Me Your Fangs, which was hailed as his most adventurous and prolific album to date featuring the songs, “Giants,” “Bill Murray,” and “Adrenaline.”
