played with Raven Blue, White Hot, Moxie and Vanderhoof. Jeff
brings to Stage One his seasoned experience and leadership
and a sense of humor. He is also an accomplished studio producer
and DJ, where he learned a plethora of music trivia.Jeff would

if you are prone to having fun, dancing and listening to great
music, he would like to take partial responsibility for that!!
