| Short Bio About the Band: | My music honors classic rock through modern originals. Think Tom Petty meets Johnny Cash meets David Byrne. You will dance! Matt Jaffe is an indie rock & roll singer/songwriter from San Francisco. Cutting his teeth on countless open mics around the Bay, Matt started taking music (a little bit) more seriously when Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads offered to produce his first record. Since then, Matt has continued to churn out more songs than he can remember the words to, perform on stages throughout the land (opening and/or touring with the likes of Mavis Staples, Wilco, Bob Weir, Jackie Greene, Chuck Prophet, Alejandro Escovedo, Melissa Etheridge, and Blues Traveler), and collaborate with Tom Higgenson (Hey There, Delilah). Inspired by the likes of Elvis Costello, Tom Petty and Stephin Merritt, Matt is continuously writing and recording to build a songbook that honors his heroes. Most folks, including Boy George, compare Matt to David Bowie, but we think Tom Petty meets Johnny Cash meets David Byrne is a better descriptor. Matt is currently rolling out his 8th studio album, Rooms By The Sea. |
