Jeff has been an avid music fan the majority of his life. His first introductions to music were through his parents and included the works of Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck and Dixieland Jazz bands. He learned to “crank up” the stereo when his parents brought home their first console stereo and played Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture (Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra) at 11! Is it any wonder that his love of music is so varied? He has been a season ticket holder to the Santa Fe Opera, has attended more Grateful Dead shows than he can count, travels long distances for shows (yup even crossing the pond a time or two) and has been a regular on the Prog festival circuit. He and his signature “gig hat” have been attending RoSfest since 2013 where he found a family, he didn’t know existed…
Typically (when not attending a show somewhere) you can find Jeff at home with The Lovely Miss Barbara (TLMB) and Val and Princie, The Studio n Dogs, working on his passions. He and TLMB operate Farming Artists; their homestead where they are continually working on projects related to food and sustainability. They mix old world techniques with modern technologies and train others to take care of themselves in these ways. He has also been an artist his whole life operating Pisces Moon Studios since 1998.
Jeff is excited to be an official part of the RoSfest crew. Keeping the dream of great live music alive in what ever small way he can and helping to bring more sonic joy into your ears.
