The Tallest Man On Earth in London

The Tallest Man on Earth is the stage name of Swedish folk singer-songwriter Kristian Matsson, who was born in 1983 and grew up in Dalarna. His early albums Shallow Grave and The Wild Hunt established his spare, guitar-led sound, while “The Gardener,” “King of Spain” and “Love Is All” became signature songs. In 2008, The Tallest Man on Earth opened for Bon Iver during a tour of the United States. He later carried his solo voice-and-acoustic-guitar format into headline tours, while concerts around Dark Bird Is Home in 2015 also featured a full band. He performed at Newport Folk Festival that year.
