About Jeff Wyatt

 
Portrait of Jeff Wyatt
JEFF WYATT - guitarist, singer, songwriter
“My work has been described to me as an interesting mix of styles resembling that of artists like Ry Cooder, David Wilcox, Mark Knopfler, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, Gordon Lightfoot, Jeff Beck and others. Well,...I'm truly humbled at the mere thought of any such remote comparisons to these musical giants. Personally I just think I sound like me,... whatever that is,... however, all those personalities have certainly influenced my playing and writing.”
(Jeff Wyatt – 2008)
*******************************************************************

With the eclectic concept album 'REFLECTIONS AT EVERY CORNER', veteran guitarist, musician, singer, songwriter Jeff Wyatt presents a clever mix of Blues, Pop, Rock, Folk, Jazz, Ethnic, World and Classical music influences in his original and unique acoustic and electric song stylings. You’ll hear interesting and imaginative guitar and piano instrumentals, as well as songs with a moody and thoughtful lyric content that is both personal and reflective. If you like piano, finger-style acoustic guitar, electric and slide guitar in both raw upbeat, and smooth laidback settings delivered along with deep, rich vocals,... you’ll enjoy this disc. The textures of the occasional orchestrated section add color and warmth for your ears, mind and emotions to become carried away with.

Jeff, originally from the Saskatchewan prairies, has been involved with the Canadian west coast music scene (writing, recording and performing live) for almost 20 years, prior to his 20 year involvement with the Canadian prairie music scene. As well as being a guitarist for over 40 years he also graduated from the 'Digital/Analog Automated Recording Arts' program at Columbia Academy in Vancouver, Canada in 1992.

His earliest solo recording project dates back to 1990 with the album 'FLIGHT OF THE HAWK', which was a folksy, bluesy, rootsy compilation of original tunes presented in a simple, uncomplicated fashion.

In 1994 he produced a follow up solo CD entitled 'THE BULLFROG SESSION', which featured Jeff’s acoustic guitar playing skills as he further explored and expanded his acoustic guitar technique using slide and alternate tunings. The Bullfrog Session, also bluesy and rootsy, was recorded with Jeff performing on vocals and a single guitar only,…no additional instrumentation,… leaving it intimate, simple, clean, crisp and acoustically melodic.

In 2005 Jeff co-invented a musical duo with songwriter Barry Greenfield, simply known as 'greenfield and wyatt' (subsequently shortened to 'greenfield wyatt'). Together they rehearsed, wrote, co-wrote, recorded and performed concerts to favorable reviews in and around Vancouver, Canada. Some of their live performances were fortunate enough to include various combinations of the talented musical hired guns Tom keenlyside (woodwinds), Jack Duncan (percussion), Gaye Delorme (guitar), Roge Belanger (percussion and vocals), Nick Apivor (percussion), Richard St Onge (cello and didgeridoo) and Ken Dahl (percussion and vocals). Jeff and Barry wrote, co-wrote, arranged and recorded their collaborative album 'SONGS FROM THE ROTHSTEIN'.

    I love the idea of a "canadian prairie scene." Makes me want to go be crazy cold just to take part. ;) I guess maybe I just sort of love the word "prairie," though, and should stay in California where my toes won't freeze off....=)

    Anyway, thanks for finding me and introducing me to your music. Nice stuff!

    Hi Jeff, thanks for the comment. After I finished recording that song I actually went into the kitchen and baked a cake, ate too much and was lyin' in bed that night groaning. LOL Listening to Reflections at Every Corner as I type - very emotional song. Am I hearing a classical training background? Very good work.
    Love, Madeline
