Boston based guitarist, Brayden Bradford, stands resolute in expanding the horizons of music both as performer and educator. His noteworthy voice is one to be reckoned with. Brayden is a rare musician who not only is grounded in the tradition of jazz guitar, but also is committed to the evolution of his unique musical vision.

 

The most sustaining influence on Brayden's musical journey is the guidance of his friend and mentor, Rodney Jones. Brayden met Rodney at a summer jazz workshop while still a high school student in his native Utah. Rodney's teachings were the catalyst that propelled Brayden's musical growth and passion leading him to be accepted with scholarship to Berklee College of Music. 

​

While at Berklee, Brayden studied under the tutelage of, most notably, jazz guitar master, Richie Hart, and pianist, Kenny Werner. Brayden completed a Bachelor of Music summa cum laude in guitar performance from Berklee in December of 2019. He currently operates his own teaching studio, performs in the greater Boston area, and works full-time for Berklee's admissions office as Assistant Admissions Communications Coordinator.

Brayden resides in Boston with his wife Gloria Grow Bradford and their Yorkshire Terrier, Toby.
