EP 162 - In The Joel Hole with Singer / Songwriter Matt Nathanson

Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast

Show Notes

This week, we’re joined by acclaimed singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson for a lively, candid conversation about his deep connection to the music of Billy Joel.

Fresh off his appearance at the all-star Carnegie Hall tribute, The Music of Billy Joel, Matt takes us inside the unforgettable night—sharing stories from the stage, the electric atmosphere in the room, and what it meant to perform classics like “I Go to Extremes” and “Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)” in such a legendary venue.

We dig into his brand new six-song EP, Songs In The (M)attic, which finds Matt reimagining Billy Joel classics through his own lens, balancing reverence with fresh perspective.

Matt also talks about watching the recent Billy Joel: And So It Goes documentary, which helped him reconnect with his longtime love for Billy and set the stage for everything that followed.

Listen to Matt Nathanson's Songs In The (M)attic HERE.
