Jeff’s love of music has always played a key role in his life. After receiving a B.A. in Classical Guitar Performance from Loyola College, Jeff moved to Charlottesville, where he’s been performing and supporting music ever since. For the past 15 years his guitar work has enhanced the inventive sounds of Nickletown, and he occasionally plays solo as well. Jeff has also performed on many other folk and rock albums in recent years.

His skills as an audio engineer have been honed for over a decade, beginning with work at Bobby Read’s Studio, then at Virginia Arts Recording where he still contributes today. He worked as Lead Audio Engineer for Value America and later Henninger Media Services, producing internet multimedia ads and courseware, and learning to use state-of-the-art tools and techniques. In 1992 Jeff also formed an independent recording studio at home, which has since become his fulltime focus.

Quote's on Jeff's work:

PAUL CURRERI’S
The Spirit of the Staircase & From Long Gones to Hawkmoth

“Exquisite… brings a renewed eloquence to the medium.”
– The New Yorker
“One of the very finest records I’ve heard in awhile. And, I don’t mean just in this genre. I mean, any genre. ”
– Vintage Guitar Magazine
“Furrowing a sonic field which few musicians would be admitted to at this time. With tangled depth and atmosphere, Spirit has an indelibly earthy feel to it as well as an almost claustrophobic intimacy. It's desert blues, plain and simple. And all the better for it.”
– Americana-UK
“Spirit Of The Staircase is a one-man, thousand-mile journey of the highest caliber.”
– Maximum Ink
“The production offers a chance to hear this endlessly creative artist in a different setting.”
– Puremusic.com
“Staircase occupies its own world that's part magic, part street fight and wholly shot through with the revelations of a brand new day.”
– 9X Magazine
“Jeff Romano offers live sound with sonic clarity. Beyond categorization, you will not hear another record like this anywhere else.” – Minor 7th Magazine
“Curreri’s first album to depart from the solo acoustic vein, and by adding spare drums, banjo, and sometimes keys, his avenues of artistic expression seem to have expanded 10-fold.”
- The Hook

DEVON SPROULE’S
Upstate Songs

"Upstate Songs is perhaps the sweetest and most honest folk-pop album recorded this year.”
– Rolling Stone Critics Picks 2003
“Although the previous album drew acclaim from audiences all across America, it was Upstate Songs that established her as a considerable, mature songwriting talent.”
– Maverick Magazine (UK)
“Upstate Songs is a sweet, compassionate blend of folk and pop, highlighted by her well-tuned vocals.”
- Chicago Sun-Times
“Allusive and poetic. Spare accompaniments highlight Sproule's voice, which is pure and breathy with just a hint of ache. These songs run deep.”
- Metro (UK)
“Upstate Songs is unforgettable. So natural, unaffected and spontaneous, it would be easy to believe that they were the result of some unguarded late night moment. An album of delicate shades rather than vivid colours, it hints and suggests rather than forces the feelings.”
- Net Rhythms (UK)
“Upstate Songs is the album the world has been waiting to hear. Gentle, poetic, classy, and achingly gorgeous, the album exudes timelessness. The question is not if, but when will the world find ears to hear it.”
- Puremusic.com

BRADY EARNHART’S
After You & Manalapan

"A fully realized, mature album . . . the most subtly poetic, skillfully crafted and all-inclusively human stuff I've heard in years."
– Cville Weekly
"One of the ten best contemporary folk CD's of the 1990s."
– Acoustic Guitar

TOM PROUTT’S
Farm Jazz

“Absolutely fantastic. Features a sound that reminds me of everything I love about living in Virginia.”
- John Hill, Acoustic Muse Concerts
“Freshly produced, authentic, direct from the brown earth. Music to accompany the steam rising from animals corralled in a farmyard, the straw, the rich manure, the hard work and the joy of aching muscles.”
– Americana-UK
