An impressive 12-string guitar player and songwriter, San Francisco's Matt Nathanson has built up a loyal fan root through extensive touring. His alive shows are stripped-down affairs, usually with just Nathanson and violoncellist Matt Fish onstage, and are half medicine, half standup comedy, with the humour reconciliation out the often heartsick self-contemplation of the songs. Nathanson has released four self-governing albums, Please (1993), Max Ernst (1997), Non Colored Too Perfect (1998), and Soundless Waiting for Spring (1999), as well as an EP, When Everything Meant Everything (2002). His major-label debut, To a lower place These Fireworks, was released by Universal Records in 2003, produced by Ron Aiello, and was followed four years by and by by Some Mad Hope. Nathanson's songs feature too been featured on several telecasting shows, including Dawson's Creek, Smallville, and Road Rules.
