Bio
Guitarist Matt Richards is one of a few contemporary musical artists who effortlessly bridges musical styles while maintaining a unique identity. While many listeners and critics are familiar with his genre-stretching fingerstyle acoustic work, others associate him with modern jazz, playing both electric and fretless guitars. Though both identities may seem distinct, they definitely belong to this one musician.
Press
“‘Beneath the radar’ would be an appropriate phrase to describe guitarist Matt Richards. Classifying him as one of those Best-Kept Secrets that get mentioned annually in a metropolitan magazine would be fitting. Catch phrases aside, Matt’s musical abilities speak for themselves.
His most recent release One In Mind (FingerMusic 1008) chronicles Matt on both acoustic guitar and fretless guitar in different settings, from solo to duo to group. Jazz standards sit comfortably alongside middle-Eastern rhythms and free-form group excursions….. there’s even a fingerstyle Beatles’ tune....If the Philadelphia scene hasn't caught on, it's their loss. Matt’s resume provides proof that he’s not just another living room wonder.”
