About this event

"Matsson has made some of the best and most-compelling folk songs of the 21st century." --- Paste , "rdquo" -> The Tallest Man on Earth has released some of the best modern folk music of this century. He writes elegant, homespun ballads that draw you in toward the proverbial campfire." - GQ Swedish singer-songwriter The Tallest Man On Earth aka Kristian Matsson is announcing a 2026 US fall tour today and the song , "rdquo" -> Colors", his first new music in nearly three years. Recorded by Matsson in his home studio, the song whirls and swirls with his violin, guitar playing and signature croon. Yearning for the verdant inspiration of summer, head below to listen and watch the song's new video featuring handheld camera footage from Kristian and his crew on a recent run of European shows. Watch/Listen to , "rdquo" -> Colors": https://thetallestmanonearth.ffm.to/colors The Tallest Man On Earth has captivated audiences using , "rdquo" -> every inch of his long guitar cord to roam the stage: darting around, crouching, stretching, hip-twitching, perching briefly and jittering away..." (The New York Times). His tour this fall begins October 15 in North Carolina and snakes through the East and West coasts, ending in Phoenix on November 15. Head below to check out all upcoming tour dates. Critics often draw comparisons between The Tallest Man on Earth and Bob Dylan, citing similarities in both songwriting and vocal style. Matsson himself has acknowledged Dylan's influence, revealing that he started listening to him at the age of fifteen. Fascinated by Dylan's covers, he delved into their origins, which gradually introduced him to early American folk artists like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. However, Matsson is quick to distance himself from being part of any specific tradition, stating, , "rdquo" -> I don't want to be part of a tradition. I just want to do what feels natural to me. This is how I play, and this is how I write songs." His 2023 album 'Henry St.' marks the first time Matsson recorded an album in a band setting. As described by Matsson, it's the , "rdquo" -> most me album yet, because it covers so many of the different noises in my head. Having been away from it taught me that making music and performing is what I'm doing for the rest of my life, and I'm so grateful for it. It has given me new confidence and playfulness. This is what I do. It's unconditional."
