“When three incredibly hardworking bands with such a huge timeless catalog of songs can actually get together on one stage to celebrate life together, it is an experience I don’t want to miss out on, and neither should you. I can’t wait to bring all of our communities together to celebrate,” added Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October.

Matt Nathanson — Over his almost 30-year career, Matt Nathanson has evolved into one of the most applauded songwriters and engaging performers on the music scene today. His sixth studio album, Some Mad Hope, yielded his breakthrough multi-platinum hit “Come on Get Higher.” He followed up with Modern Love, a critically acclaimed album (Pop Matters called it “the closest a pop album comes to perfection this year”) that garnered Nathanson two RIAA Gold Certified singles, “Faster” & “Run (featuring Sugarland).” His 2013 release, Last of The Great Pretenders, debuted at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 while hitting #1 on iTunes’ Alternative Albums chart. Sings His Sad Heart spawned the hit single “Used To Be” which was a chart climber-hitting top 20 at Adult Top 40. Most recently, last year’s Boston Accent explored Nathanson’s leaving behind his native Massachusetts as a young man but feeling connected to other New Englanders he found in California.
