Matsson started making folk-inspired music on his own in 2006, recording by himself and giving charismatic one-man performances. He added instruments and other players for the first time on his new album, Dark Bird Is Home, expanding the sonic possibilities. On stage at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, he had a crew of friends performing with him — and lucky for us, his concerts don't suffer from losing a little of that solo intimacy.
