I've been writing songs and playing gigs for as long as I can remember...you can check the website for the more "official" version...oh wait, nevermind, I haven't updated it in years...music music music...hmmm, what else is there? I've been in a bunch of bands over the years, with varying degrees of success and/or failure...my songwriting projects include the musical madness that was Olospo and is now known as The Slack...I sometimes make solo albums...also, I play guitar and keys in Sorta, Salim Nourallah & The Noise, Johnny Lloyd Rollins...I have a fun money making side project called The Rectal Thermometers...I used to be in a Beatles tribute band a decade ago, but we never did any of that wig-wearing look-alike shit...I'm looking for a gig as a drummer, so if you need one, call me, but not if your band sucks...I won a handful of awards recently that I didn't deserve...I wish I were a full-time writer living in a cabin in the mountains somewhere...I just started acting recently and I've got a few film projects happening...I'm 35 and aging by the second...I've got two kids. a wife, a dog, and a cat who are all really cute and I love them very much...that's about all...if you want more, go to the website...there's all kinds of useless, outdated, extended biographical material for those select few who crave such info. But it hasn't been updated in two years. I know, I suck! Thanks for listening!
SPAMED! Can you ever forgive me? If so, please vote for me!
I am in Round Two of The TRCoA Unsigned Artist Competition. Help me get to Round Three by clicking my face and voting for me!
If I’m in the top 4 I get to play a showcase for record executives and could win 100 free hours in the studio.
If I were selected, it would really help me rock some faces off, please take a second and vote.
Thanks!

What's up bud? I hoped to catch you at the last Salim show at The Granada, but couldn't make it. Hopefully we'll catch each other somewhere soon. We're booking shows now. So maybe I'll see you out and about. -jeff
Move over John Lennon and The Waitresses, I've got a few new tunes to add to the top of my favorite X-Mas Song list! Really dig What I Always Wanted! It's almost enough to make me renounce Judaism and embrace Baby Jesus :-0
