The Swedish singer-songwriter troubadour Kristian Matsson, better known as The Tallest Man on Earth has a rare talent for captivating an audience with just his raw, grainy voice and a guitar. He plays various string instruments, ranging from acoustic guitar, banjo and he recently picked up and started exploring the realm of the violin as well. The coming year will see him on the road again through Europe and North America.

The Tallest Man on Earth

Winspear Centre

Charming fans with a poetic meld of guitar-laden indie folk and transcendental lyrics, Swedish musician The Tallest Man on Earth (Kristian Matsson) has often been likened to his idol Bob Dylan. With a signature open-tuning guitar technique, 2015’s Dark Bird Is Home showed an atmospheric departure from his usual acoustic sound and was described as “a sumptuous drivetime cocoon of soft rock” by The Guardian. Brimming with anecdotes and audience banter, Matsson’s live shows are a warm and intimate experience.
