Jeff Warner
The Inheritor of one of the USA's Finest song Legacies. Warner was brought up on the road with his song collecting parents (Anne and Frank Warner) witnessing some of the old time greats and experiencing first hand a now vanished culture. And not a little of it has rubbed off. A welcome return!
Jeff is among the foremost performer/interpreters of traditional music. His songs from the lumber camps, fishing villages and mountaintops of America connect 21st-century audiences with the everyday lives – and artistry – of 19th-century Americans. “Providing more than just rich entertainment, Jeff will leave you with a deeper appreciation of the land you live in†(Caffé Lena, NY).
Jeff has performed widely, from large festivals in the UK, to clubs, festivals and schools across America. He plays concertina, banjo, guitar and several “pocket†instruments, including bones and spoons. And “he inhabits a song in a way which few singers can do†(Royal Oak Folk Club, Lewes, UK).
“I’ve just received a copy of your magnificent Jolly Tinker – what a joy! It is without doubt one of the finest traditional American recordings I’ve ever heard.â€
Frank Hennessy, “Celtic Heartbeat†BBC Radio Wales (UK)
“Your material and musical skill have captivated both knowledgeable folk music devotees and the uninitiated.
