About this event
Matthew Curry has built a multi-generational audience through a deep, pure connection forged with fans that have encountered him via headline appearances and cherished support opportunities from some of the most successful touring and recording artists in the history of music. Simply, he is a singer-songwriter, who’s also known for his incredible guitar playing abilities, writing songs that draw from personal inspirations, incorporating elements of blues, rock, southern rock, and old school country in to his repertoire. Alongside a ton of headline dates across the U.S., and isolated appearances overseas, Matthew Curry has had the honor of touring with the Doobie Brothers, Steve Miller Band, Peter Frampton, Journey, Don Felder (of the Eagles), and others. Steve Miller articulated his thoughts about the left handed guitar slinger to Ultimate Classic Rock offering, "..,wonderful guitar player [and] great songwriter in the Stevie Ray Vaughan area of virtuosity and originality." While Peter Frampton shared to 96.5 The Fox, "... someone asked me in an interview today if I thought there could be anymore guitar heroes. Well, hell yes of course and Matthew is one who will prove that to be true.”
Curry was born and raised in Bloomington Illinois and began playing guitar at the age of four with encouragement from his father. He began playing live performances at the age of eight and by eleven, the young guitarist was fronting his own band and beginning his songwriting career.
