JEFF WOOD IS A SINGER-SONGWRITER WITH A SOULFUL VOICE AND A STYLE THAT DRAWS FROM A VARIETY OF GENRES. THE RESULT IS A BLENDING OF COUNTRY THEMES, BLUESY MELODIES, AND ACOUSTIC ROCK GROOVES.
GROWING UP ON THE GULF COAST OF FLORIDA, JEFF BEGAN WRITING AT NINE YEARS OF AGE, INSPIRED BY THE LIKES OF STEVIE WONDER, HALL & OATES, AND THE EAGLES. SINCE THEN, HE HAS WORKED HARD TO DEVELOP BOTH AS A WRITER AND A PERFORMER. HE HAS FRONTED NUMEROUS BANDS, FROM SOUTHERN ROCK TO POP TO JAZZ-INFLUENCED R&B, BUT HIS LOVE FOR THE INTIMACY OF THE "WRITERS’ NIGHT" CROWD HAS HIM APPEARING REGULARLY IN MANY NASHVILLE AREA SINGER-SONGWRITER CLUBS, INCLUDING THE BLUEBIRD, CROSSROADS, AND THE FRENCH QUARTER CAFÉ.
HAVING MADE THE MOVE TO NASHVILLE IN 1997, JEFF BEGAN COLLABORATING WITH SEVERAL COUNTRY WRITERS, FUSING HIS UNIQUE STYLE WITH THE NASHVILLE SOUND. AS WRITER AND PRODUCER, JEFF HAS A NUMBER OF POP/GOSPEL CUTS TO HIS CREDIT.
CURB RECORDS' SUPERGROUP SAWYER BROWN RECORDED "THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND", CO-WRITTEN BY DEAN CHANCE, TERESA JOHNSTON AND STEVE MILLER ON THEIR LAST CD, "MISSION TEMPLE FIREWORKS STAND". RELEASED AS THE SECOND SINGLE FROM THE PROJECT, THE SONG WAS ADDED BY COUNTRY AND GOSPEL STATIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY, AND WAS NOMINATED FOR A 2005 GMA AWARD. LATER, IT WAS ADDED TO THE COUNTRY-GOSPEL COMPILATION "THREE WOODEN CROSSES", RELEASED BY WORD RECORDS IN 2006. IN MAY OF 2008, SAWYER BROWN RELEASED THE GREATEST HITS PROJECT, "BEST OF SAWYER BROWN", INCLUDING "THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND" AMONG OTHER CLASSICS SUCH AS "SIX DAYS ON THE ROAD", "THE WALK", AND "SOME GIRLS DO".
