Matt Costa

I've been a fan of Matt Costa for years now but had never seen him live. Now I know what I've been missing out on all this time. He was engaging and fun. The band sounded amazing. Bottom line, I will make a point of seeing Matt every time he is in NYC. Also, Bowery Ballroom makes any show that much more enjoyable with their downstairs bar and great balcony area.

The Bowery Ballroom was a cool venue and I was easily able to get a front row spot. Matt Costa is so incredibly talented so all of his shows are guaranteed awesome! My favorite part was when the band played together acoustically and Matt walked through the crowd. Unforgettable night! Glad he made it out to the east coast to entertain our ears with his beautiful music! If only he werent' married....<3

This is the second time I've seen a show at the Bluebird Theater, and I just LOVE it there. The show was so amazing....Matt & Company put on a stellar performance. Before the show even started, we were all facing the stage, waiting for Matt to come out. All of a sudden, he's walking into the crowd from the back of the theater, playing his harmonica and guitar. He plays in the audience for a minute or so, and then heads to the stage to continue. Great way to start! He was really interactive with the audience, and came down into the audience a second time to play again, later in the show. After the show, he came outside to meet the few fans that waited long enough (that's me!). He was really nice. I got his autograph, and a picture with him. We chatted about the tour, his new cd, plans for another new albume, and much more. He was really down to earth. I've never met an artist who was as appreciative of his fans as he was. It makes me love him even more!

loved the show. it was chill and personal, not too big. Matt Costa even came down into the crowd and played. it was a lot of fun

Intimate and amazing! Costa delivered an unforgettable performance!

I had a great time. I've only really listened to Matt Costa through Pandora or the like. Basically, I am not a close follower, but I went because I knew I liked everything I had heard from him. Lo and behold, as expected, a great show and I enjoy him even more now after seeing him live.

The Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis hosted Matt Costa and opening group The Blank Tapes on April 4th, 2013. The venue was small but very intimate and made me feel a close connection with both acts. At times it almost seemed like I was watching Matt Costa performing in his living room! I was impressed with The Blank Tapes, now my new favorite band, who's southern California sound was raw & melodic. They reminded me of the punk & new wave bands that passed through Minneapolis in the late '70's & early '80's. Matt Costa's set included "Sunshine", "Mr. Pitiful", "Miss Magnolia" and other fan favorites. He even played requests. Costa is a very personable performer and very gracious with his fans. He signed cd's, & took pictures with people afterwards. It was one of the best times I've had in a local club in decades! I loved it! Don't pass up a chance to see Matt Costa live!

My boyfriend and I have been fans of Matt costa for years so seeing him perform live was incredible. He sounded amazing. He. Even walked off the stage and and sang half of a song while walking around the audience! Afterward, he walked back to the little murch shop to meet all of his fans.

The venue was great and the show was even better. He started off the show by walking through the crowd and performing half of a song before getting on stage. Sometimes performers sound better recorded than live, but he actually sounded better live than recorded. It was a great show and I will absolutely see him next time he comes to Nashville.

Saw Matt Costa at Bowery Ballroom last week and loved it. He works hard and draws the audience into his performance. Would see him again whenever and wherever!

matt was great, he started the show by walking through the crowd to reach the stage from that back of the room.

Matt Costa is brilliant. Not much else to say. He has a great accompaniment of musicians in his band as well.

Really great music. Really fun time. I would definitely see him again.

The show was really good and MC played everything I wanted to hear. Everest was also very awesome. I was, however, REALLY surprised how few people were there, but it made for easy mobility!

Matt was great! He started the show singing Ms. Magnolia from the audience then went onto the stage. He is very personal and sounded fantastic live. The Varsity Theater is a great place, small & intimate. Won't forget this show!!

The Varsity Theater is now the venue I'd like to see all my shows at! What a cool theater and layout. My friend and I caught the tail of Everest's set and they sounded really good. We wandered the theater and as funny as it sounds, checked out the coolest bathroom ever with a view of the stage from the unisex wash area. While waiting for Matt to take the stage, we saw him hanging out by the soundboard and I was able to say hi, shake his hand and thank him for coming to play for us. He was very gracious and thanked us for coming out too. When the house lights went down, Matt and the band came to the stage from the back of the venue, playing through the audience like a processional. Once they got on stage, the show just went! The energy levels were great and the sound was great too. At some points, the show was hushed as Matt played alone or with one other person from the band. We were all along with him for the journey. I'll go see Matt anytime he comes to town. He always puts on a great show.

Matt Costa had a great mix of new and old songs! He had an amazing performance! I will never forget when he sang Astair and the whole house went silent!

This was a well orchestrated show. Hurrah for the stage hands who made it run smoothly!

Matt Costa and Threes &Nines put on a great show! Matt Costa was so involved with the crowd, had great energy and played for quite awhile. Anyone would enjoy his show!
