To celebrate his birthday today, GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter, rapper and alternative rock artist Matisyahu has released his new live album Live In Brooklyn. Having amassed a global following for his transcendent live shows, Live In Brooklyn is the latest achievement in an extraordinary career. The set was recorded at the iconic Brooklyn Bowl New York during Matisyahu’s annual Festival of Light. PRESS HERE to listen to the album which features live renditions of fan-favorites including “One Day” – whose original version has been streamed over 140 million times on Spotify alone – as well as the genre-bending, Billboard Hot 100-charting and alt-radio topping breakthrough single “King Without a Crown.” In addition to the greatest hits, other set highlights include covers and originals written by the artist’s son, Laivy, that they performed together. More details on a limited vinyl release will be announced soon – visit www.matisyahuworld.com for additional merchandise and information.
Like only the most gifted storytellers, Matisyahu spins the rare kind of stories that simultaneously enlighten, enthrall and expand the audience’s sense of possibility. Known for his skill in blending a shapeshifting collision of reggae, hip-hop, alt rock and boldly inventive pop – all while paying homage to his spirituality and roots in Judaism – the artist’s live shows consistently provide audiences with a dynamic and energetic performance full of life and illumination. With fifteen years under his belt, he’s teamed up with the best improvisational musicians and artists for jam sessions and collaborations, and his long and winding career consists of seven albums including the chart-topping Light, Youth, Spark Seeker, Akeda and Undercurrent.
Matisyahu will perform at Red Rocks Amphitheatre with 311 tomorrow night, and the second leg of his summer tour kicks off August 4 when he joins G. Love for a co-headline outing.
