Musician and composer Matthew H Schwarz has recorded and performed with various rock bands since 1999 (on guitars, vocals, and flute as well as songwriting), with his Lodi, NJ-based group Sleepy Hollow in particular receiving praise in the progressive rock and heavy metal press. As a harper, he has performed at festivals in CO and along the east coast from Maine to Virginia, focusing on traditional folk and early music. Schwarz combines this popular music background with years of classical music study to compose engaging and exciting classical music – classical music that rocks!
