For Volume 5 of our Matisyahu Tour Journal, we go to the lighter side as Matis introduces us to his “girls” (vocal chords), takes us backstage for a little joking with Trevor Hall and guitarist Aaron Dugan proposes something seedy to the video guy. It was all in jest of course… just another day on the road! This segment is set to the track, “Struggla” from Matisyahu’s latest...
