Watch him strap a guitar on his back, board a public bus with 75 strangers, and traipse his way across the country. Here’s a singer-songwriter who loves nothing more than the sound of his voice reverberating off a music venue’s back walls, and the look in someone's eyes when you know they're with you. This is Jeff Campbell’s life, and as he’ll readily tell you, it isn’t so much a choice as a calling. “This is just who I am” says the vocalist, impassioned songwriter and lifelong musician who is willing to do whatever it takes to feel the rush of human connection.
Jeff’s onstage experiences have taken him to coast to coast countless times and have allowed him to make a life of singing and playing his songs on the road his living. After being crowned winner of Guitar Center's National Singer Songwriter Competition out of over 13,000 entrants, his 2013 EP Release, “In Spite of Everything”, produced by 6x Grammy Winner John Shanks, premiered at #1 on the iTunes rock EPs and singles charts, following a performance on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show.
2015 saw the release of 'The Kitchen Sink', a self-produced EP that was born on the road and Jeff and Band toured in support of the ISOE EP. It's sound is what comes from 4 guys playing live, dozens of nights at a time and living in small spaces together. They hope you like it as much as they liked making it.
“...(with) an encompassing blend of music styles, he proves himself capable of channeling a dynamic mixture of genres while still maintaining a cohesive flow. ‘The Kitchen Sink’ is laced with an emotional honestly and poetic lyricism that makes it easy to see how he stood out amongst such a large crowd.”
- Elmore Magazine
“He strays light years away from the dominate youthful garage rock style of music that you typically find in Oakland and SF and chooses to make pop country rock and roll that is fresh and all his own.”
- The SF Deli
“A confident and compelling effort, The Kitchen Sink isn’t the cluttered melange its title suggests, but it does hint at a promise fulfilled.” - Glide Magazine
