Tallest Man on Earth, aka Kristian Matsson

The Tallest Man on Earth, aka Kristian Matsson, garnered big buzz opening December dates for indie-superstar Bon Iver. He'll be touring the states in April, including a stop to perform on Mountain Stage two days before the April 13 release of "The Wild Hunt." He is going to be performing at Sasquatch as well.

April Smith

April Smith is a saucy young singer, originally from Toms River, New Jersey, currently opening for Mountain Stage alum
Langhorne Slim. She built a big buzz thanks to an appearance at Lollapalooza, and the NY Post recently named her a 2010 Artist to Watch. Her latest, "Songs for a Sinking Ship," is out NOW. Hear the good time sing along "Colors" on her MySpace page and check out "Bright White Jackets" below.
