San Francisco singer songwriting Matt Alber will be performing in Brighton at 8pm on July 31 at the Latest Music Bar on Manchester Street.

Grammy award-winning Matt has crafted a handsome collection of enchanting songs perfectly capturing the trials and tribulations of living and loving as a gay man in the world as we know it.

Perhaps best known for his beautiful music video End Of The World and unique interpretation of Whitney Houston’s classic Wanna Dance With Somebody, Matt is in Brighton for just one night only in the run up to Brighton Pride weekend and is performing as part of the Pride Arts and Film Festival.

£1 from every ticket goes to supporting the Pride community fundraising effort for the Rainbow Fund.

The idea for the show came about when organiser Adam Betteridge of Authentic Productions met Matt in Manchester whilst he was touring the UK last year.

Adam BetteridgeAdam said: “We both got chatting and as soon as the idea of playing in Brighton came up – Matt jumped at the opportunity! He’d heard such great things about our wonderful city. I’d also like to emphasise that the whole team of volunteers helping put together Matt’s gig here have done so purely out of their love and admiration of his music. We are all tremendously excited to have the opportunity to hear him perform live here in Brighton, whilst also helping support Brighton Pride and the Rainbow Fund.”

A big hit on the US gay scene, Matt has played at various high profile events on the international LGBT scene including Provincetown Bear Week and on stage at London Pride.

The event will also be supported by DJ Bozzy Bear (aka Neil Borrett) who will be playing tunes to help get the crowd in the mood.

Doors will open at 7.00pm for an 8.00pm start at Latest Music Bar. There is a licensed bar available all night.

A limited number of Advance Tickets can be bought at the reduced price of £10.
