Sunday, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m.

Known onstage as The Tallest Man on Earth, Swedish singer-songwriter Kristian Matsson has drawn comparisons to Bob Dylan with his deft guitar work, poetic lyrics, and gritty voice. He first gained fame in the United States with his critically acclaimed 2008 debut album Shallow Grave and a subsequent tour opening for Bon Iver. After five sparsely recorded albums focused on voice and guitar, Matsson’s new release Henry St. was recorded with other musicians in a band setting.
