Mat Kearney at First Ave....

Mat Kearney's latest release, Young Love, has been drifting over the airways for months. Naturally, I love it. So imagine my surprise (and excitement) when One 2 One Network put me on the list to attend his November 20 show at the legendary First Avenue!

Having been to over 300 live shows in my life, I have seen shows in venues of all sizes. The last show of his tour, Kearney packed the house that Sunday night. He played classics like Breathe In, Breathe Out and Closer to Love as well as new hits of his Young Love Album like Hey Mama! and Ships in the Night.

I also heard that a couple got engaged during Kearney's performance of Breathe In, Breathe Out.

While on stage, Kearney made mention of this being his 1st time selling out First Avenue. The quality of his show, as well as his on stage presence and presentation screams that he is ready to graduate to a larger venue.

Not only am I hoping to catch Kearney on his next go-round, I look forward to seeing him at the Varsity or Northrup!
