Jeff's interest in music began at a very early age, as part of a very musical family. In his early teens he learned to play the guitar and sing the songs of Ireland and Scotland. His love for the traditional music of his Irish heritage from counties Cork and Donegal, and the surrounding rugged country of the English/Scottish borders, was born.
He later founded and operated Carlisle Folk Club and many of the top touring Celtic performers of the day from Ireland and Scotland sang and played there. Jeff worked as both MC and support artist to these great talents, but soon built a repertoire and a reputation as fine artist in his own right

He has made several guest appearances on local radio shows in Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana and performed musical segments for the Irish TV Journal and Media One "The Scene" cable television stations. Jeff has performed for audiences at major Irish Music Festivals in Milwaukee (Irish Fest 6 consecutive years), Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Peoria, West Dundee, Dixon and at Concerts and Pub venues throughout the mid-west, creating an atmosphere of warmth, laughter and good cheer, leaving audiences shouting for more.

Now, a seasoned performer, Jeff's music today represents traditional and contemporary songs from Ireland, Scotland, and America, singing a nice mix of songs that suit most peoples tastes, from the beautiful ballads to the hand clapping, sing along, foot stomping chorus songs, so characteristic of Celtic music.

Jeff's first CD "Mair Land......Less Weight" was released in June 1998, followed by "Here and Now" in July of 2000. The live CD, "and she was......," features 20 of the most popular sing-along pub-songs. The band's lastest CD "Under the Covers" was released in March 2004. Plans for a new CD are being put together for release in the spring of 2006.
