Jeff Davis is one of America’s most respected collectors and interpreters of traditional music. He has traveled far to visit “source singers” -- farmers and miners who remembered the old songs and tunes -- and closer at hand to libraries and archives, always look for the best of the music that was once common in out towns and villages.

Jeff plays fiddle, banjo, mandocello, guitar, spoons, jaw's harps and a few instruments hand-made by folk craftsmen. He has toured extensively throughout the United States and to festivals in Canada, England, Ireland, The Netherlands, and Norway.
