Music is emotion. Music is a story. Music takes you on a voyage, and that's exactly what Connecticut native, and recent Boulder transplant, guitarist/composer Matt Flaherty conveys in his music.
Since graduating from Western Connecticut State University's jazz program, Matt has been teaching and playing full time. Matt plays out regularly with his bands, Hot Soup, and The Matt Flaherty Trio and is gaining a lot of recognition along the way.
He has had the pleasure of playing with Dave Grippo , Russ Lawton, Bill Nershi, Vinny Idol , Mystic Bowie, and many more great musicians. He has also had the opportunity to open for acts such as Tower of Power and members of the Funky Meters.
