   About Geoffrey J.
..


Armed with a spine tingling voice, lyrical depth, and melodies that never leave your side, this young songwriter has nothing but a bright future ahead of him in the music he creates. Geoffrey J. has been influenced from the work of such industry legends as John Lennon and Bob Dylan, and applied them to a collection of music that instantly qualifies him as one of the most dynamic and mature songwriters to emerge in recent memory.

Born in Tucson, Arizona, Geoffrey heard music, melodies and stories in his head as a child. As an adolescent he began teaching himself various instruments, writing poetry, and acquiring the skills of songwriting. After experimenting with drums, piano and other instruments and demonstrating an ability to learn them in a short period of time, Geoffrey became focused on the acoustic guitar, harmonica, and his vocal performance. Understanding that not only writing original music would help him grow a career in music but finding the right musicians to help him bring his songs to life in a live performance was the ultimate goal. Geoffrey decided to focus on finding musicians who were obviously seasoned professionals. In April of 2006, he met this great circle of blues musicians at "Pennington Place", a rehearsal studio in downtown Tucson.

Matt Meza, bassist, honed his skills as First Chair in the Tucson Symphony at the young age of 15. Matt has been a classically trained musician since the age of 6 and is a mulitinstumentalist. Besides bass Matt plays the violin, piano, drums, classical guitar and sax. He has done session work and toured with artist such as Barry Sparks, Dokken, Ted Nugent, Jackson Browne, and Alan Parsons. Currently he works as a studio musician in Tucson Arizona and is performing live with Geoffrey J.

Randy started his drumming career off by playing with the "JR. Serenades" a California based big-band ensemble created in 1969, the greatest year in rock and roll. This group of young musicians (ages 10-15) hand-picked from all over California, played the Rotary club and Hollywood premier scene. Randy has also worked has a studio musician in Los Angeles for several years and eventually made his way to Tucson where he is now part of one of the most experienced rhythm sections in Arizona.

Son Williams, a prodigy multi-instrumentalist, was discovered by Geoffrey while playing an acoustic show in Tempe. Son walked up to Geoffrey and asked,"Do you know any David Bowie?" and the two have not stop playing together since. While Son was under age, Son would pretend to be blind while Geoffrey would pretend to be his guardian. Nothing would stop the two from playing shows together. However, for those of you who have met Son, He will soon gain his sight back in FEB. 08’. Geoffrey is currenlty recording and producing Son William’s solo album which will bring listeners back to the days of Son House, Blind Willie McTell, and Led Belly.
