I just posted a little review of Bon Iver's show in Madison this past Friday, but I failed to mention the opener. Kristian Matsson is The Tallest Man on Earth, meaning that he plays guitar and sings under that moniker. Hailing from Dalarna, Sweden, Matsson has an interesting voice in which one can pick out traces of Bob Dylan, but is wholly unique. His guitar playing is fantastic as well. I'd heard one or two of his songs prior to seeing him with Bon Iver, but I was blown away by the songs. "Pistol Dreams" was wonderful, and "Where Do My Bluebird Fly" has a beautiful melody.
Do yourself a favor and check out The Tallest Man on Earth.
