Matt Barranti is no stranger to the Pittsburgh Music scene, having spent years as a sideman in many local bands, such as Southbound, Dixie Flyer, Gashouse Annie, the Defenders, and many others, eventually forming his own band, The Matt Barranti Band in the Fall of 1991.

Some of the Artists Matt has opened for include, REO Speedwagon, The Outlaws, America, Toy Caldwell, Derek Trucks, 38 Special, Glen Campbell, Sonny Landreth, Donna the Buffalo, Dr Hector and the Groove Injectors, James Cotton, Jeff Healy, Steppenwolf, Chicago, The Allman Brothers, Billy Crash Craddock, Sonny James, and many more.

Inspired as a teenager by artists like the Beatles, The Allman Brothers, Wes Montgomery, and others, Matt picked up the guitar at age14 and began learning and stealing licks from anyone who would help. Eventually Matt took professional lessons from local greats, Eric Susoeff, Tony Janflone Sr, and Bill Loughman. These days, Matt can be found playing with Bill Ali, The Cosmic Attack Band, The Matt Barranti Band, The Sonny Pugar Memorial House Band, and National Touring Act, Foghat. Matt spends most of his free time practicing his guitar..
