Even if you know what to expect when rapper Matisyahu first walks on stage, it's still a surprise.
The orthodox Jew wears a yarmulke on his head and Adidas on his feet. From beneath his dapper sport coat hang tzitzit tassels. The somewhat scraggly beard is impressive but seems so very out of place.
He appeared on the Grand Sierra Theater’s stage at 9:38 p.m. Monday looking somewhat dour and stoic (even discounting the religious accents).
But by the time the two-hour show ended, he had loosened up, demonstrated his versatility and shown the crowd his lighter side.
