Nathanson will host his annual two night holiday show live stream, (Yet Another) Farewell December, on December 16-17, playing two very unique setlists including songs from Achtung Matty as well as some holiday favorites. For tickets, please visit mattnathanson.com.

This is the third time Nathanson has paid musical tribute to one of his favorite albums. His Def Leppard approved cover album of Pyromania, called Pyromattia, went to #1 on iTunes Alternative chart upon its release. Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott called the album “an amazing reinterpretation” with “heart and soul.”

Based in San Francisco, Matt Nathanson's 2007 album, Some Mad Hope, included multi-platinum hit "Come on Get Higher.” 2013's Last of The Great Pretenders debuted at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 while hitting #1 on iTunes' Alternative Albums chart.

The most recent album, Sings His Sad Heart, spawned hit single “Used To Be,” which hit top 20 at Adult Top 40. Nathanson has performed on The Howard Stern Show, Ellen, Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Dancing with the Stars, Rachael Ray, CMA Awards and more.
