as a kid, i couldn't get out of new england fast enough. i left massachusetts when i was 18 and would'vemoved to the moon if i could have. instead, i drove out to california with my buddy jeff and never lookedback... built a support system, a family, a career. i left a place where i didn’t feel understood orconnected and went about creating one where i did.and you know what's crazy...the group of friends i made along the way... the ones i trust most, the ones who made me feelunderstood and connected... almost every one of those people are from massachusetts.that’s what this record's about.it’s about being jealous of the cool kids who got to spend their summers on nantucket and martha’svineyard. it’s about how the hint of a boston accent can make me drop my guard and feel connected toa complete stranger. it’s about how growing up listening to folk singers like james taylor, cat stevens,indigo girls & tracy chapman shaped the music i’ve always wanted to make.and it’s about surrendering to the fact that the person i’ve become is built squarely on the back of theperson i was.___Over his almost 30 year career, Matt Nathanson has evolved into one of the most applaudedsongwriters and engaging performers on the music scene today.

A Stephen Kellogg performance is like watching Ted Lasso live. Whether he’s playing music or doing stand-up, his shows leave people inspired and restored. For more than two decades, this wordsmith, Tedx speaker, stand-up comic, author and troubadour, has delighted audiences around the world. Planet Bluegrass calls him “a first class songwriter with a poet's gift for fresh imagery,” and Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz says of Kellogg, “there are few people in rock n’ roll who are just so great.” He has received the Armed Forces Entertainer of the Year award and has had his work nominated for a Grammy. Rolling Stone magazine describes his sound as “John Prine fronting the Heartbreakers.” The recent “Sit Down & Stand Up” Tour was a one man show that opened to rave reviews from fans and critics alike, culminating in a two-night filming for a forthcoming one-hour comedy special. A mix of music, humor and storytelling, each performance paints a unique canvas that covers the full spectrum of human emotions. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll go home with a full heart.
