Matt Nathanson

I always like to do a bit of a “year in review” towards the end of every year. This year, I thought that, in addition to that, I would give a countdown of my favorite songs from 2014.

If Matt Nathanson's music career ever peters out (which it won't, because he's awesome), he could probably make a legit living as a comedian. He's charismatic and hysterical. He's got a way of completely engaging a crowd, which he definitely did at his sold-out show with Gavin DeGraw at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park July 15.

Matt Nathanson admits that some songs are better to listen to privately, using your own headphones. He tells us his favorite songs he listens to on his headphones, and you can listen to this exclusive playlist on the PopCrush Beats Music account.

Oh. My Goodness. The concerts coming to Frederik Meijer Gardens in 2014 are amazing. In the past few months, we've heard of a few of the acts, but this morning, the Gardens announced their full lineup. Gavin DeGraw, O.A.R, CAKE, Counting Crows, the Barenaked Ladies and more will be making their way to Grand Rapids in the coming months. Here's the full lineup:

Matt Nathanson joined Kidd Kraddick and the gang the other day to talk about his latest tour.  Matt had some insight into the Superbowl results and gave his thoughts on football in general.  Catch the whole interview and a live performance of 'Run' after the break.

Maroon 5 and Train have announced a co-headlining North American tour for this summer! The tour starts off on July 22nd in California, and will hit 40 more cities before ending in September in Houston, Texas. They will be making stops in Michigan, though unfortunately not in Grand Rapids...
