Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and alternative reggae rock musician Matisyahu brings his Hold The Fire Tour 2024 to Denver on Saturday, March 2 at Ogden Theatre. The 34-date headlining outing, with special guest Cydeways, is crossing the country in support of his brand-new EP of the same name. Tickets are on sale now; visit https://matisyahuworld.com/tour for all details. $1 of every ticket sale will be donated to the Last Prisoner Project, a nonprofit dedicated to cannabis criminal justice reform and releasing every nonviolent cannabis prisoner.
Hold The Fire, just released on Friday, February 2nd via Matisyahu’s own label Fallen Sparks Records, is centered around the four earth elements, with the EP’s lead single “Fireproof” touching upon Matisyahu’s unwavering ability to keep his artistic fire burning. The track explores the topics of perseverance and gratitude in times of trouble. As a theme everyone can relate to, especially with what is currently happening in Israel, “Fireproof” is resonating with listeners everywhere for its timely and hopeful message and has already been hailed as “an anthem of overcoming adversity.” Matisyahu also reflects on celebrity and artistic success and the observation that we often find ourselves imitating other people or listening too much to their opinions of us, as he explores in “Fool’s Gold.” The 5-song collection – already hailed “a must listen!” also includes the uptempo “Love Supplier,” “Lifeline,” a tribute to community which also spawned the EP’s title, and “End Of The World.” For nearly two decades, Matisyahu has kept his creative spirit aflame by evolving his sound, melding genres, and testing the limits of the musical traditions that have inspired him. A special kind of fire spurred the creation of Hold The Fire. PRESS HERE to listen.
Like only the most gifted storytellers, Matisyahu spins the rare kind of stories that simultaneously enlighten, enthrall, and expand the audience’s sense of possibility. Known for his skill in blending a shapeshifting collision of reggae, hip-hop, alt rock and boldly inventive pop – all while paying homage to his spirituality and roots in Judaism – Matisyahu’s live shows consistently provide audiences with a dynamic and energetic performance full of life and illumination. With nearly 20 years under his belt, he’s teamed up with the best improvisational musicians and artists for jam sessions and collaborations, and his long and winding career consists of seven studio albums including the chart-topping Light (2009), Youth (2006), and Spark Seeker (2012), as well as Akeda (2014), Undercurrent (2017), and Matisyahu (2022), and various live albums including his 2005 Gold-certified breakthrough Live At Stubb’s. This past summer, the New York-raised and New Jersey-based multi-talent released Live In Brooklyn, recorded at the iconic Brooklyn Bowl New York during his annual Festival of Light. Exemplifying his transcendent live show, Live In Brooklyn features renditions of fan-favorites and global hits including the Gold-certified “One Day” – whose original version has been streamed over 150 million times on Spotify alone – and the genre-bending, Billboard Hot 100-charting and alt-radio topping breakthrough single “King Without A Crown.” In his continued support of Israel and his Jewish roots, Matisyahu visited Israel in January, where he performed a sold-out benefit show in Tel Aviv, with proceeds going to Bring Them Home Now to assist hostage families. He also spent time with the families and soldiers and visited the site of the Nova Music Festival and met with survivors. His visit overseas follows Matisyahu’s surprise appearance at the March for Israel in Washington, DC this past November, where the performance of his global anthem “One Day” with The Maccabeats created a standout moment.
