Matt Nathanson To Release Seasonal Favorites On 'Farewell December,' Via Crush Music This Friday (10/23)

Tis The Season For Matt Nathanson

On FRIDAY (10/23) singer-songwriter MATT NATHANSON will release "Farewell December," a full album of festive yuletide faves on CRUSH MUSIC. The 12-track set features MATT’s sparkling take on CHRISTMAS standards from "Blue Christmas” to “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer,” as well as his somber take on JONI MITCHELL’s much revered “River.” The album also includes appearances from CANADIAN singer-songwriter DONOVAN WOODS on “Little Drummer Boy” and the SAN FRANCISCO GAY MEN’s CHORUS on “Christmas Time Is Here.”  

Discussing the project NATHANSON said, “I wanted it to feel like a real album, not just a collection of songs. So we picked some fun ones, some moody ones and some heartbreakers.  I was trying to get it to sound the way the holidays and the end of the year feel...exciting, warm but also kinda sad and bittersweet. A celebration of the end of something.”
