    The Tallest Man on Earth is the musical moniker of Swedish folksinger/songwriter Kristian Matsson, who most recently played an enthusiastically received set in Boston, opening for Bon Iver. Matsson is the latest in a line of artists to emerge from the burgeoning Swedish indie scene over the last couple years, including Jens Lekman, Peter Bjorn and John, and Lykke Li. With his nimble finger picking and songs ranging from gentle blues to shouted love songs, Matsson defies the simple Dylan comparisons to create a sound all his own. Tipped as an artist to watch by tastemakers here and abroad, Matsson will perform solo on acoustic guitar and banjo.
