yesterday, my sister and i went to go see matt nathanson at the house blues in boston. and he was awesome of course. vanessa carlton was his opening act, and i didn’t even know she was going to be there until a couple of days ago when i checked their events page. but she was great as well. she was constantly comparing the place she was in to the shire. matt nathanson was singing and shaking his hips as i expected him too. he sang songs from his older albums and his newer ones which was great. i absolutely loved the fact that while him and his band were coming out they played the theme song for star wars. of course i completely geeked out. the man is completely hilarious as well, making a connection to the “under the sea” song from the little mermaid to crabs because the song is sung by a crab. he also impersonated shakira which was funny as well. all in all it was a great concert and i can’t wait to see him again.
