After being rescheduled several times due to COVID (it was originally scheduled for 2020), Matchbox 20 finally played the Saratoga Performing Arts Center on their Slow Dream tour. Singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson opened up the show.


Review and Photos by Claude Sawyer for Nippertown

Nathanson writes memorable hooks and soaring melodies. He is supplemented by Aaron Tap on lead guitar and harmony vocals. I have said it before that Tap is to Nathanson what Michael Anthony was to David Lee Roth. His harmonies are always the perfect compliment to Nathanson’s melody.
