Blue October
Lone Star State rockers Blue October deliver an emotionally charged amalgam of heart-heavy post-grunge and slick modern rock. They found favor in 2006 with their platinum-selling fourth long-player Foiled, which featured the chart-topping singles “Hate Me” and “Into the Ocean,” and built on that success with a series of albums that saw them go from a radio-ready, post-grunge act (2011’s Any Man in America) to stadium-sized synth rockers with an unabashed flair for the dramatic (2016’s Home). In 2022, they issued Spinning the Truth Around, the first installment of a double-LP that concluded in 2023 with Volume 2.

Matt Nathanson
California-based singer/songwriter Matt Nathanson is best known for his earnest, introspective adult alternative songs, but he’s also known to fans for live stage banter that borders on standup comedy. That wit is also evident in his lyrics, be they self-conscious, longing, or playful. He released a series of independent albums beginning with 1993’s Please before making his major-label debut in 2003 with his fifth LP, Beneath These Fireworks. Though he quickly returned to independent status, the Hot 100 singles “Come on Get Higher” (2007), “Faster” (2011), and “Run” featuring Sugarland (2011) followed later, as he became a regular on the Billboard 200. After edging his acoustic-minded singer/songwriter pop toward glossier production with 2011’s Modern Love, he reached a career-high number 16 in the U.S. with his eighth studio album, 2013’s Last of the Great Pretenders. He continued to chart with his albums throughout the rest of the decade and had an adult contemporary hit with the song “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” in 2019. Nathanson’s 2020s output included the personal Boston Accent (2022), his 13th studio album.
