Jeff
comes from a very musical family with his musical roots
buried deep in the soil of the Phipps family tree.
His great grandad and grandad both sang and taught music
in the churches of southern Kentucky. Jeff's father
played in church and the honky tonks most of his life
and he kick started Jeff when he was just five years old
on an old Gibson LG-O family heirloom which he still has
to this day! He formed his first band when he was
twelve. Jeff wrote his first song at fifteen and
has been performing and writing ever since! Jeff says;
"I'm a husband/musician/songwriter/bar owner/maintenance
man/janitor/accountant...Other than that who has free
time?"
Influences: Merle,
George ,Hank ,Willie, Waylon, Johnny and about anyone
who has graced the Opry stage along with all the
fantastic writers and studio players in Nashville. Also
Delbert McClinton, Stevie Ray Vauhgn ,Bob Seger, Ted
Nugent, ZZ Top, REO Speedwagon and all things in
between.
