Matt Schofield is a British guitarist and singer-songwriter, born in Manchester in 1977, who plays electric blues shaped by jazz and funk. His recorded work includes Siftin’ Thru Ashes, Heads, Tails & Aces, Anything But Time and Far As I Can See. The Trio, Live, recorded at London’s Jazz Cafe and released in 2004, established the organ-trio setting at the heart of his stage work.
