Vance's music transcends any "one" category of music. It can only be described as melodic art and a true form of expression deep from within. -The Fellowcraft- Where does one begin the journey of music? What inspires those individuals to express themselves with a guitar, piano, or whatever instrument they so desire? Jeff Vance began his journey at his fathers' piano at the age of four. Learning every melody he could by ear, and replicating those melodies to entertain his siblings and fellow classmates in school. By the time Jeff was fourteen, he had learned over a hundred songs by memory. Whether it was Beethoven, the Beatles, or Elton John, Jeff could play them all. Turning his talents into a full-time working musician by the time he was sixteen and using his experience (well, at that time, very small experience) to land gigs in his small town in Michigan. It was around that time that Jeff began crafting his talents as a singer-songwriter, and even recorded a full-length solo piano album his senior year of high-school. After receiving his Bachelor's degree of psychology in 2002, Jeff moved to Nashville, Tennesee to pursue music and mature as a singer and songwriter. Cutting demos and playing piano covers nightly, Jeff realized that his classical influence did not fit well with other styles of writing in that little-big town. His blending of classical riffs and pop/rock melodies was too "progressive", yielding others to critique his work with words like "it's too edgy, keep it simple." Jeff Vance bounced around the U.S. performing in piano bars for a few years, playing gigs from New York to Las Vegas, ultimately dropping anchor in Los Angeles where he currently resides today. Now at the age of 28, Vance is working to make himself known to all who would dare to listen. Somewhere in the realm of musical souls lies an artist waiting to be unleashed!!! Combining the haunting influences of Amadues Mozart, Sebastian Bach, and Beethoven, with the alternative/rock of today, produced by Mikal Blue (My Enemy Death, Revolver Recordings) and Tim Myers of "One Republic" (Velvet Hammer/Columbia Records). Vance is music that soundtracks the joys and sorrows of this perfect vessel we call life. Have a listen, and enjoy the journey. The debut album "Shooting Stars, Satellites" is slated for release in stores everywhere, late summer/early fall of 2006. You can buy it early here only at CD Baby.
