In Harmony Concert Series: Matt Richards Trio

Born and raised in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, guitarist Matt Richards grew up in the culturally fertile cross-currents of the 1960s. His musical pathway opened in the mix of folk, rock and psychedelic music that defined that decade and eventually drew him into the hyperactive jazz-fusion of the 1970s.

Initially a self-taught player, Matt earnestly developed the technically advanced musical abilities necessary to be part of that highly-energized genre. As his musicianship developed, he discovered straight-ahead jazz and began incorporating the acoustic guitar in various projects.

During the pandemic lockdown Matt self-produced and released Power Trio Project featuring bass guitarist Tony Donato and drummer Paul Albrecht. He also began composing and producing a wide range of music for soundtracks and film scores.
