Bio
J.C. Mathews has been inventing and reinventing his melodic rock guitar sound for more than 25 years. A native of Georgia, Mathews learned his first riffs by observing the Southern rock movement up close. He later studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, and worked to fuse his blues-rock upbringing with the technical mastery of the jazz fusion world. Now, years later, his playing shows the impact of a wildly divergent group of influences, from Al Dimeola, Carlos Santana and Ritchie Blackmore, to Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler and many, many others. Over the years, Mathews lent his unique blend of guitar worlds to dozens of artists. Now, his solo work reflects a philosophy which he sums up in one sentence: the sound of a guitar is a beautiful thing and deserves a melody.
