MATT JAFFE

After cutting his teeth on open mics around the Bay Area, San Francisco songwriter Matt Jaffe was discovered by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads.

Together, they produced his first album at the age of 16, cementing Matt's dedication to music.

Soon, he formed a band, dropped out of college, and has not looked back.

Since then, Matt has written more songs than he can remember the words to, crisscrossed the country opening for Blues Traveler and Wilco, and co-written with Tom Higgenson of the Plain White T's.

Inspired by the great lineage of rock n' roll, he marries literary lyrics with the undeniable urge to dance. Matt has served as musical director for experimental theater, collaborated with poets on genre-bending spoken word, and curated residencies among fellow songwriters.

Having suffered from seizures since 2015, Matt also uses his music to unite local and national epilepsy communities.

Matt will release his sixth album, White Roses in the Snow, in Summer 2022
