Matisyahu Announces Fall Tour

MATISYAHU ANNOUNCES NORTH AMERICAN FALL TOUR

This fall Matisyahu is heading back on the road for an impressive 40-date North American tour, with backing band Dub Trio, in support of his new album Light.  This time around Matisyahu has aligned himself with Posse for a groundbreaking artist-fan collaboration.

After a wildly successful Summer tour previewing songs from Light, Matisyahu becomes the first major American artist to team up with Posse, an Australian based peer-to-per ticketing method that rewards fans for actively promoting concerts.  The partnership enables Matisyahu fans to recommend and sell tickets for gigs in their area via their personal social networking profiles.

Already a hit in its creator’s home Down Under, Posse can be used by anyone over the age of 13 simply by becoming a member.  Fans log onto www.posse.com and download apps, links, and banners that they can post across the web on their blogs and profiles on MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc.  As fans promote their favorite artists’ shows, they will earn commission on every ticket sale they help make.  As an added bonus, a special prize will be awarded to the top national ticket seller, as well as two free tickets and a meet and greet with Matisyahu for the top seller in each market.

MATISYAHU’S LIGHT IS IN STORES NOWMatisyahu’s album Light debuted in the Top 20 on the charts and is in stores now.  Light showcases the musician from Crown Heights, Brooklyn displaying his one-of-a-kind voice in a variety of diverse genres, moving through his familiar reggae-soul stylings to dancehall, ska-influenced new wave, pop-rock and acoustic folk.

“[Light] pushes musical boundaries…dipping into everything from guitar driven rockers to stripped down acoustic tunes” – Billboard

“Skittering percussion, Middle Eastern strings, layered beat box and bass synth make a hip-hop hotbed for showcasing Matisyahu’s strongest material yet.” –The Onion
