He has some sort of for lack of a better word, distaste for his older '90's albums. And though yeah, perhaps they aren't as advanced as the last ones, I find that I enjoy them just as much. I had the honor of meeting Matt at one of his shows and he is as down to earth as they get. I aswell hope its not a long wait for his next record because I cannot get enough. Hands down the best artist I've ever come across.Ernst97https://www.blogger.com/profile/11051016153185164650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767471761019116175.post-25434057126036314952012-03-14T19:16:57.766-04:002012-03-14T19:16:57.766-04:00Would have loved to meet him.

And you're soooo right. He'll make you laugh, then he'll just RIP your guts out. GOD, I was a wreck at the end of the Buffalo show and THEN I met him! He's really one of the sweetest and most genuine person I've ever met. This guy values his fans and LOVES music to his core. It shows in every show. I'm so bummed I missed him headlining in Rochester this month. <br />If you haven't seen him--GO. He's awesome as an opening act, and transcendent as a headliner.Taryn Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08399616590176045387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767471761019116175.post-79092750734041400862012-03-14T13:30:49.159-04:002012-03-14T13:30:49.159-04:00I love your review!

But reading your review just brought it all rushing back for me. Thanks!

I haven't seen him in concert yet, but from listening to his music and keeping up on reading his blog posts, it has been on my mind to get to a concert of his someday. BUT, after reading your review, which made me feel as if I was actually there, I WILL DEFINITELY make sure I see him soon!!! Excellent writing, so on the money!!!

I've seen Butch Walker as many times as you've seen Nathanson, and he certainly has the ability to conjure up those moments, but so does Matt. One second, he'll have you laughing, and then he'll just knock you down with something like "Wedding Dress." He's just absolutely genuine and honest, and I love how much he appreciates his fans (from the frequent blog posts, to the record picks of the day he was doing for awhile, all the way to sharing my review on his wall). It's great to see a guy like that have the kind of success he's been having lately.Craig Manninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03540543108753023502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767471761019116175.post-45937083812646495972012-03-13T21:09:55.609-04:002012-03-13T21:09:55.609-04:00Thanks, I appreciate it!

There is a moment in every show, no matter how many times I have seen him play, when it hits me just how utterly amazing he is, and I fall in love all over again. I think I have seen Wedding Dress performed 6 or 7 times, and it is always an emotional experience. I think it is also important to point out how much he truly appreciates his fans, and it never feels fake. I just saw him 2 weeks ago in NJ, and as soon as it was over, I wished I had tickets to the next show. He just has that effect on you...Danielle Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112489691999620965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767471761019116175.post-82168656165602437392012-03-13T19:27:40.685-04:002012-03-13T19:27:40.685-04:00Such brilliant writing, I got goosebumps reading w...Such brilliant writing, I got goosebumps reading when you said he played "Wedding Dress" - brought me back to one of his concerts.
