Matisyahu 2016 Winter Tour Begins on 2/13

Article Contributed by Matisyahu Music | Published on Thursday, February 11, 2016

When Matisyahu first started touring to packed clubs more than eleven years ago, it was prior to the release of Live at Stubbs, the now Gold Record, and prior to that record’s single “King without a Crown” reaching #1 on the alternative rock radio charts. His performances were a raw expression of his spirituality at that time and were supported by musicians who played a foundation of roots reggae augmented by the energy of a rock trio. Fans latched on quickly for a variety of reasons, but in August of 2005, just months after the release of Live at Stubbs, Matisyahu found himself on stage at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival with the de facto leader of improvisational rock-­n-roll; Phish’s front man Trey Anastasio. Many early fans of Matisyahu remember  that  moment clearly not because of the songs he played in front of the 80,000 person crowd, but because of his  seemingly  unfettered confidence  (or  perhaps naiveté) in helping lead Trey and his band through an improvisational display of beat boxing and lyrical gymnastics during the two songs performed. It may have been unrefined, but Matisyahu’s passion for full band improvisation was laid bare.
