In addition to being invited back to Australia to appear at the East Coast Blues & Roots Festival in 2010, The Frontier Touring Company is pleased to announce that Matisyahu will also play headlining shows in Sydney and Melbourne for his ever-growing legion of fans this coming March. The shows will feature songs from his latest offering, Light. Having received glowing reviews, Light conveys messages of hope, peace and understanding within optimistic melodies and transcendent refrains. His ‘hyper-kinetic’ energy on stage is not to be missed.

Matisyahu’s shows earlier this year were well received by critics and fans alike, with many praising his unique reggae-rock style, smooth delivery of lyrical prose and expansive vocal range.

“Rather than simply being a ‘one-trick-pony’ Orthodox Jewish performer who sings reggae, Matisyahu is the antithesis of the very gimmick that created him: a formidable vocalist, a champion beatboxer and serious contender for white rapper of the year.” FasterLouder.com.au

“Matisyahu commands the crowd to hang on his every utterance, every nuance of his persona and every ounce of his energy. There's crowd surfing and much dancing in response, and when he and his band go off on extended funk-pop odysseys, everyone is along for the ride…it transcends religion.” Beat

“You could sense that Matisyahu is the embodiment of music, every guitar riff, bass line and drum roll seems to become a greater part of his higher self.” Forte
