Keyboards, Vocals
Keyboardist Matt Riddle channels the late, great Richard Wright with a transcendent technique of almost surreal reflection. With a proud prog pedigree, playing with the lauded Yes tribute, Going for the One, and Genesis tribute, Seconds Out also featuring Ian Cattell, he has performed with Alan White and Patrick Moraz of Yes.
Matt discovered “Dark Side of the Moon” at ten years old and it changed his life. He was already learning piano from his Grandmother, who graduated from the Conservatory of St. Louis in 1915. He subsequently continued classical training with Nellie Whittaker, who was a protégé of Guy Meir. After 3 recitals at Steinway Hall, he left classical music to pursue a career playing in stage bands.
