The inception of Jeffrey Michael's sound echoes back twenty years to rural Appalachia. There, in what’s known as the ‘Tri-state area’ where the borders of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia all come together, Jeffrey grew up. The geographical location provided multiple musical influences. He soaked-up his parents love for the oldies, the Southern rock and country music of his surroundings, and the gospel and blues music of his idols.
It’s no wonder Jeffrey's music cannot be put into a category, nor labeled by the current music scene. Characterized by powerful vocals that range from ethereal and haunting to raw and raucous, Jeffrey's innovative melodies and eclectic array of styles manage to bring elements of roots, blues, and rock & roll to country, and create a soulful and passionate sound unequaled by today's standards.
Years of touring with national acts have honed Jeffrey's stage skills to that of a consummate professional, while his natural charm and down to earth personality keep him accessible to his audience.
Jeffrey Michael's debut album, "Endless Rd." Released in 2001 continues to gain critical acclaim nationally.
In 2005 Jeffrey released his self titled album "JEFFREY MICHAELS"
on Winners Records. Which featured the singles "One Woman Man"
and "Mile High". And is available on CDBaby and BestBuy.com.
Jeffrey Michaels latest C.D. "No Fast Lanes On A Country Road"

If I could count on one hand the bands that I TRULY LOVE, based on proffesionalism, you would be at least #2 on my right hand, LOL not #2 figuratively of course, LOL You know we LOVE you bro.. Jeffery Michaels is #A-1. All clubs be advised that this act is a barn burner and consider yourselves lucky to book him! He is a bargain for the booking fee, so DO it! Sincerely, David Sutton
