Student Concert Series Presents:
The Tallest Man on Earth
Sept. 5, 8pm
Dimnent Chapel
Kristian Matsson, aka the Tallest Man on Earth, is a 29-year-old songwriter from Dalarna, Sweden. Many in North America were introduced to the Tallest Man on Earth on a tour with Bon Iver, including a stop for two shows at the legendary New York City venue Town Hall.
"The New York Times" has described him as "a guitar-slinger rooted in folk, and his songs are troubadour ballads at heart, carrying knotty, imagistic verses."

Ester Rada
Sept. 10, 7:30pm
Knickerbocker Theatre
Rada's cross-cultural sound is a deep reflection of her Israeli-born Ethiopian heritage. Growing up in a highly religious Jewish family in more than modest conditions in Israel, Rada has emerged with what critics describe as a genre mixing sound combining Ethio-Jazz, funk, soul and R&B.
The BBC calls describers her "an arresting young singer-songwriter with a rich musical heritage. Her Ethiopian roots are clearly audible in her music. But so is the influence of Israel where she grew up and now lives."
