Gigs and Ensembles
I handle Bass responsibilities and backing vocals for the SouthRail Bluegrass Band I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio although my father's family called Lexington, Kentucky home. I've been playing music since 1975 and started with guitar and electric bass.

I came to Bluegrass music later in life after playing classic Rock in previous bands including

Cash On Delivery
Middle Earth
The Rejuvenators

I have played as a guest musician locally with Lowcountry Grass and am also a founding member of the SouthRail Bluegrass Band.

Musical influences include Lester Flatt, Missy Raines, Todd Phillips, Mark Shatz and Barry Bales. Jeff has played twice on the Merlefest Cabin Stage with Pete Wernick's Bluegrass jam Camp.
