Listen: Matt Nathanson on Mountain Stage

Our Song of the Week is from pop-songsmith Matt Nathanson, who expertly combines the heartfelt and the humorous, in his song “Bill Murray.”

“Bill Murray” was originally released on Nathanson’s 2015 album “Show Me Your Fangs.” His latest release is called “Sings His Sad Heart.”

You can hear the entire set from Nathanson, plus performances by Stephen Kellogg, Carbon Leaf, Pete Muller, and Cashavelly Morrison (pictured), on this week’s episode of Mountain Stage with Larry Groce.
