   About Jeffrey Hewer
Jeffrey Hewer is a jazz guitarist who performs swinging, straight ahead Jazz. He plays regularly in Toronto at special events, weddings, restaurants and cafes. A versatile musician, Jeffrey performs solo jazz guitar but also plays with duos, trios and quartets and will even sing a song or two. Born in Guelph, Ontario in 1973, his family moved near Toronto where he began playing guitar and singing at age 16. After cutting his teeth on rock n' roll and blues, Jeffrey attended Carleton University in Ottawa, changed his focus to jazz and received his Bachelor Of Music in 1998. That same year he moved back to Toronto and continued his jazz studies with Lorne Lofsky, Barry Harris, Howard Reese and Al Gorman. For several months in 2001, Jeffrey performed aboard the Norwegian Wind as it sailed from Miami to Alaska, appearing nightly in the Moondance Trio as the featured soloist. While on board, he was also invited to play lead guitar in the show band. In 2006, inspired by the sounds of Ron Eschete, George Van Eps and Fred Fried, Jeffrey began performing on 7-string guitar, a guitar that allows him to play bass and guitar parts simultaneously. Jeffrey’s solo guitar performances feature 7-string guitar, adding a new level of depth and richness to his playing.≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ TESTIMONIALS: We would highly recommend Jeffrey Hewer for anyone wanting to set an amazing tone for their event. Jeffrey was friendly, responsive, and great to work with – he even learned new songs to accommodate our Jewish wedding ceremony wishes. All of our guests really enjoyed Jeffrey’s playing, and we thank him for helping making our wedding so warm and intimate. Marisa & Joel ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ Jeff's performance at our wedding added an air of tranquility for our outdoor wedding ceremony. His professional attitude went above and beyond his performance when he even helped us with something completely unrelated. I will recommend him to anyone seeking a live musician, and his web site is a great starting place to enjoy his music. Thanks Jeff! Ivan & Jenn ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ Thank you for playing at our Christmas party. Many of the guests commented on how much they enjoyed your performance. I will definitely be talking to you when planning future parties and I won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone else planning an event. Ian Hounsell, BCB Canada. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ Thanks for providing wonderful musical accompaniment for our staff party. Everyone appreciated the festive touch it added to our gathering. Micheline Bartlett, President Intercede Facility Management Ltd.

Hi Rob,
Nice sound on the guitar. I guess if one's race would be determined based on influences in music, approach, and maybe playing style there is a chance we would have same passports.

Greetings,
Jarek

Ha ha. Good eye...the Schecter is a great guitar...I have 2 of them!!
I did find them both to be a little on the bright side, though.
