MATT NATHANSON UNVEILS SHOW ME YOUR FANGS

NEW ALBUM TO BE RELEASED ON OCTOBER 2^ND
ACOUSTIC NORTH AMERICAN FALL TOUR TO BEGIN ON SEPTEMBER 28TH IN BOSTON
ALBUM AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER JULY 31ST!

^{Matt Nathanson, gets his Phyllis Diller on: Oh Fang!}

^{Matt Nathanson’s new album Show Me Your Fangs – his tenth studio recording – delves deeper and further into the complexities and observations of everyday life than any of his previous albums. Songs such as “Giants,” “Bill Murray,”}^{“Adrenaline,” “Washington State Fight Song,” and the title track tell vivid stories touching on the overall theme of self-identity and how we choose to reveal ourselves. These vignettes are all offered wrapped in richer, musical textures with Nathanson’s signature seductive hooks. In as much as these songs have a solemn message, leave it to Nathanson to offer the perfect counter balance with the album’s new single “}^{Gold In The Summertime}^{” with its sultry ‘70s soul groove.}

^{Show Me Your Fangs}^{will be released October 2nd on Vanguard Records but starting tomorrow, July 31st, fans can pre-order the album via iTunes and}www.mattnathanson.com^{and instantly receive a download of “Giants.”}

^{To celebrate the release of Show Me Your Fangs, Matt Nathanson will kick off an acoustic North American fall tour beginning September 28th in Boston, MA through October 30th in San Diego, CA. Full list of tour dates below. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 31st and each ticket purchased will include a download of Show Me Your Fangs upon release.

Matt shares, “I’m heading out on a super intimate, acoustic North American club tour this fall. After the last few summers of playing big places (which has ruled, btw), and bashing it out with electric guitars, I’ve been missing just playing acoustic guitar and telling stories. So, I’m leaving the rhythm section at home and Aaron [Tap] and I are gonna bust out for the month of October, troubadour-style.”}
