Rather than following fads, Matthew Sweet has always been one to create his own signature style.
Although he has been cranking out jam-worthy music since the mid-’80s, his breakthrough came with the release of his 1991 album Girlfriend. This year just so happens to mark the 20th anniversary of the album. Hence the name of the tour, which will be featuring the album in its entirety for all to relive.
Last September, Sweet debuted his latest album, Modern Art. The name behind this album simply came from a possible idea for a title. After further examination, Sweet noticed that it resembled the term “modern heart.” It was from that point that he knew what this album would represent, the two competing forces against the ever-refreshing state of time and the aged emotional heart. It is these two concepts that truly bring out what you will experience listening to Modern Art.
This is your chance to catch Matthew Sweet’s Girlfriend Tour at the 9:30 Club on June 9th. Don’t miss your opportunity to see an artist performing some of his greatest work with a nice cold beer in hand and a pair of pleased ears.
