SUMMARY:The Tallest Man on Earth
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nCritics often draw comparisons between The Tallest Man on Earth and Bob Dylan\, citing similarities in both songwriting and vocal style. Matsson himself has acknowledged Dylan’s influence\, revealing that he started listening to him at the age of fifteen. Fascinated by Dylan’s covers\, he delved into their origins\, which gradually introduced him to early American folk artists like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. However\, Matsson is quick to distance himself from being part of any specific tradition\, stating\, “I don’t want to be part of a tradition. I just want to do what feels natural to me. This is how I play\, and this is how I write songs.”

SUMMARY:Andrea Gibson’s Love Letter from the Afterlife
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fees. \nFrom the team that brought you Come See Me in the Good Light\, join us for Andrea Gibson’s Love Letter from the Afterlife— a multimedia event bringing together film\, live poetry\, music\, orchestral accompaniment\, and intimate storytelling in a celebration of one of the most beloved voices of a generation. \nAt the heart of each evening is Love Letter from the Afterlife\, a stunning film capturing Andrea Gibson’s final live performance: a brilliant\, brave\, tender\, and raucous poetry set recorded at Denver’s Paramount Theatre in 2024. The film was produced by the team behind the Oscar-nominated documentary\, Come See Me in the Good Light. \nThroughout the event\, The Goosebumps Orchestra will perform Blake Neely’s original score live alongside Gibson’s filmed performance\, creating a deeply immersive experience that expands the poetry beyond the screen. Guest artists will join throughout the night\, coupled with film and performances that  will transform each stop into a living\, breathing composition and a singular celebration of Gibson’s work. Threading the night together is Megan Falley—Andrea’s wife\, fellow poet\, who will share intimate stories of love\, collaboration\, humor\, and artistic kinship. Through Falley’s narration\, audiences will discover the relationships and moments of serendipity connecting each guest artist to Andrea’s life and enduring legacy. \nPart concert\, part cinema\, part communal celebration\, the Love Letter from the Afterlife tour invites audiences to experience Andrea Gibson’s work the way it has always been meant to be experienced: together. \n“When I chose to name the show Love Letter from the Afterlife\, I didn’t realize how fully I was describing what was about to happen. At Red Rocks\, ten thousand of us arrived believing we had come to remember Andrea. We left feeling we had heard from them directly. Nothing can replace being in a room with Andrea. But for anyone who never had that good fortune\, I hope this tour offers something I didn’t know was possible: the feeling that Andrea is still speaking\, and speaking directly to you\,” said Falley. \n
