'Matisyahu Tickets'

'

Born Matthew Paul Miller in West Chester, Pa., Matisyahu is an American hip-hop artist whose music is a blend of reggae fusion, alternative rock and what some have begun to call Jewish rap. Matisyahu's big break came in 2005 when Trey Anastasio of mega-band Phish allowed him to play a guest spot during its set at the Bonnaroo festival. The following year, Matisyahu toured with Dave Matthews Band as an opener. His breakthrough single, 2005's King Without a Crown, soared to No. 1 on

Billboard's

US Reggae chart. Since then, the artist has gone on to release five studio albums, four live albums and a host of charting singles.

'To Beard or Not to Beard'

'When Matisyahu first came on the scene, he turned heads with his long beard and signature ear locks, blowing audiences' mind with his Hasidic Jewish aesthetic and Afro-Caribbean reggae sound. While many were intrigued by Matisyahu's unique looks, others were offended, stating that his music was cultural appropriation. In 2011, the artist shaved his beard and ear locks and stopped wearing fringes, stating that he was entering into a period of musical rebirth and that he wanted to visually present his true self. In 2012, he bleached his hair blonde to promote his then-up-and-coming single Sunshine and posted a picture without a yarmulke, leading some of his Jewish fans to question whether the artist had lost his faith. The artist stated that his Jewish spirituality was not necessarily linked to an aesthetic, even going so far as to say that his public presentation was a form of religiosity.'

'What can I expect from a Matisyahu concert?'

'Matisyahu is a reggae-rapping Hasidic Jew, so his concerts are completely unique in both the hip-hop and ska world. The performer's physical aesthetic doesn't prepare you for the depth and authenticity of his sound, creating cognitive dissonance in the best possible way. Matisyahu has been known to extend many of his popular songs with beatboxing, freestyle rapping, or extended instrumental solos. Regardless of the venue, Matisyahu concert fans return home from a performance knowing they have had a one-of-a-kind experience that they will not soon forget.'

'What are Matisyahu's musical influences?'

'Matisyahu genre-bending style is a unique blend of the artist's personal experiences. His music has strong hazzan influences, a form of soulful singing prayer popular among Orthodox and Hasidic Jews. He also has elements of reggae, jazz, hip-hop and rap that makes his sound not altogether different from successful early '90s jam bands like Sublime and 311.'
