   About Jeff Crouse

I am a 32 year old drummer/ percussionist living in Cary, NC. I’ve got a beautiful wife and two great children that I devote most of my time to. I’ve also got a passion for music, performing, and teaching. My education includes a Bachelors of Arts in Percussion Performance from Virginia Tech. and a Masters of Music in Studio Jazz Drumming from the University of Miami. I have been fortunate to study with some great musicians including Howard Curtis, Dr. John Floyd, Chip McNeil, Steve Bagby, and Steve Rucker. I can be found playing music at weddings, private parties, restaurants, and various other venues around the Raleigh area.
I can also be found at Cornerstone Presbyterian Church on Sundays at 10:30am playing with the praise band.

I have been blessed to play with and be around some great musicians including Stephen Anderson, John Bass, Ron Baxter, Aaron Bittikofer, Steve Boletchek, Paul Bomar, Doug Carter, Dan Davis, Laura Didier, Martin Eagle, F.O. Finch, Jason Foureman, Don Gladstone, Handsom Alan Heckle, Steve Hobbs, Peter Innocenti, Joe Izzo, Peter Lamb, Rick Lassiter, Drew Lile, Jim Martinez, Rick McDuffie, Chip McNeill, Ed Moon, Grant Osborne, Ben Palmer, Andy Paolantonio, Guy Percy, Raleigh Jazz Orchestra, Chris Reynolds, Michael Pelz Sherman, Kevin Van Sant, John Simonetti, Al Strong, Scott Warren, Mark Wells, Dave and Lola Youngman.

Blue Concept was featured at the Winston Salem Jazz Co-op in June of 2008. I’ve also been honored to play for various public figures including John Edwards and a private party for President George Bush and Pat McCrory in Raleigh, NC.

To those of us performing live this Saturday, April 25:
Please play a tune loud and Make Some Noise for Kostas:
For him to hear us, for us to feel him and for all the others to listen to us:
"There is no such term as a “traffic accident” - in most cases they are just
street murders permitted by society".

Hi Jeff - nice drumming to you as well! I can only fake jazz myself, so I certainly have an appreciation for the genre.
Dave Youngman

Thanks Jeff. Couldn't play it New Year's Eve cuz I didn't write it till New Years Day. You and John must have inspired me the night before.
