~Jeff~ Get down, do you? Jeff started getting down on the bass in 2000 after the allure of the lows took Jeff back to his musical beginnings.
Jeff started playing the Tuba in the 2nd grade (for some reason, which cannot be explained by the usual methods of science or rational thinking). Ever hear the William Tell overture played on the tuba (hey, I remember that show, wasn’t that circa 1985)? Unfortunately, this rare gem has been lost from the archives. After 12 years of tuba tooting, Jeff re-joined the ranks of the sane and well balanced. Throughout his youth, Jeff dabbled in piano and started playing the guitar in high school. College and beyond provided years of musical discovery; you may still find Jeff at festivals in the summer, arenas in the winter, or the local pub any weekend soaking in the sonic vibe of a live show. His mind was further warped in the college years when he probed the deepest, darkest corners of the universe as a physics student and explorer of cosmic mystery. Jeff purchased his first bass in 2000 and hasn’t stopped grooving since. Here begins the story of BeatnikBrown.

Jeff was born and currently resides in the Philadelphia area. When not rocking out, Jeff enjoys skiing, hiking, mountaineering, and a host of outdoor activities.
He is an avid traveler, having been as far as Istanbul & Hong Kong to the East and Juneau, Alaska to the West. Jeff has only missed two states in his extensive travels across the USA (name them for free tickets to the next BnB show!) Jeff looks forward to grooving with BeatnikBrown for many years to come.
