   About Matt Rafal
I'm a songwriter/bass player/harmony singer, currently based in NYC.

I've been fortunate to have worked with longtime collaborators Dave Dombroski, Dan Holden and Jayme Tardiff in the Boston based indie band The Brightwings. Together, we've written and performed music for:

I've recently co-written songs with a few singer/songwriters, including Jon Robert, Chad Perrone, Ryan Ordway and Pete Kilpatrick and have recorded bass parts for Mike Brown, Ryan McCalmon and Dana Labb.

I also sit in with the Gutter Music Project and enjoy jamming with my good friend Mike Berk, a CT based singer/songwriter.

The songs in my music player (above) are ones I've co-written. Check out my blog for more info on each song.

Here is "All I Need", a song I co-wrote, being performed by actress Leah Pipes on the CW show "Life Is Wild":

if its that close maybe you can get them at the box office; the online order fee is robbery! i can't justify it if your legs can walk there :) ps: in the new mariah ballad there is a line that says "hit the block. proud in the SUV." ha. makes me think of our SUV excursion plastered to the dashboard. still can't believe you let me drive -- i think about that and get nervous.
