Here are some photos from the Misquamicut Music Festival 2008 in Rhode Island.... what a rockin' time!
Jeff - vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, native american flute, piano & keys.
When with a band: Joe "Joey the leg breaker" Orlando on bass and vocals and Mike Redmond on drums and percussion.
On the studio stuff: Mikey played drums and percussion and Chris Plunkett (played with Hank Jr., Waylon, Willie etc.) did some bass tracks for me.
I grew up listening to a lot of Country and Southern Rock, folks like Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Allman Bros., etc. Some of my current influences are Steve Earle, John Hiatt and Tom Waits. I enjoy all types of music but love stuff with a melody and good lyrics.
Sounds Like
Probably like a lot of my influences I guess. Some say I sound like some guy named Bruce. I don't know.... you tell me!
