The Saad Haddad ShowFinding Conceit and Humor in Song (ft. Matthew Ricketts)Matthew Ricketts (b. 1986, British Columbia) is a Canadian composer based in New York City.

Matthew’s music has been called “lyrical, contrapuntal, rhythmically complex and highly nuanced” (The American Academy of Arts and Letters) and is noted for his “effervescent and at times prickly sounds,” “hypnotically churning exploration of melody” (ICareIfYouListen) as well as its “tart harmonies and perky sputterings” (The New York Times). He is a 2019 Guggenheim Fellow.
