The Tallest Man on Earth - Revolution Hall - Portland, OR

I was thrilled to the gills when I saw The Tallest Man on Earth, Kristian Matsson touring the States his latest album Henry St. i initially found “The King of Spain” through the Spotify algorithm and instantly fell in love with the unique pitch of his voice, and lyrical storytelling I was lacking in my life.

I was only expecting great music, what I was not expecting a visual feast of a man, bounding across the stage as - and I heard someone describe him as this- a beautiful wood nymph from one side of the stage to the other with the agility of a classically trained dancer. The energy was contagious and spellbinding at the same time, and captivated the audience throughout the entire show.

I am constantly fascinated by artists, singer/songwriters, musicians and just how they can perform on stage. The Tallest Man on Earth performing on stage, with his backing band, and all with all eyes from a packed house at Revolution Hall, crowd singing and dancing along.

Well worth the wait for a tour from Sweden, I’d love to see him again.

Set list includes:
”Looking for Love”
”Major League”
”Rivers”
”Henry St.”
”The Dreamer”
