Matt Doty is the founder and songwriter of the band Saxon Shore, est 2001. Saxon Shore makes “epic, soaring instrumentals filled with wandering guitar lines and electronic stutters. Every triumphant rush is balanced by a softer, delicate moment”. - Spin Magazine. Saxon Shore’s music has been featured in trailers for the Sundance Film festival, the MLB All-Star Game, The Kentucky Derby Telecast, MTV's Real World, various short films, and commercials for SONY and DANNON. “It’s no wonder independent filmmakers are taking notice. Their lush melodies complement the trailer for the short-film Stray and then listen to “Isolated by the Secrets of your Fellow Men” from their new album, The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore to fully immerse yourself in their epic arrangement.” – Entertainment Weekly
