Bio

Being a guitarist and songwriter for over 40 years, Jeff has been affected by many influences. But when it comes to preference of styles, he often falls back onto blues or blues/rock influences. His earliest solo album dates back to 1990 with FLIGHT OF THE HAWK. In 1994 he produced THE BULLFROG SESSION, which featured his acoustic guitar playing as he explored slide & alternate tunings. In 2005 Jeff teamed with Barry Greenfield in a duo known as GREENFIELD WYATT. They released a collaborative album SONGS FROM THE ROTHSTEIN. With the 2008 album REFLECTIONS AT EVERY CORNER, Jeff presented a mix of works in his unique acoustic & electric song stylings. Jeff is working on his album PEOPLE DO BLUES due out by the end of 2009.

About

“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, 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. (Cardboard Alley Music) 

<<<<<|||||>>>>> 

 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.

 The album 'REFLECTIONS AT EVERY CORNER' is available on CD Baby, iTunes, earBuzz, amazon and a host of other music download sites. In August 2008 a CD review for 'REFLECTIONS AT EVERY CORNER' was written & posted by veteran music reviewer Ron Bervoets at the Belgium site ROOTSTIME (Ron also has the interesting job of doing interviews that are posted on the site. He has had the pleasure of interviewing blues legends that include Jim Suhler, Johnny Winter and John Mayall). ROOTSTIME is a non-profit internet magazine and internet radio station that promotes the music of known as well as unknown singers/songriters. If you can read Dutch, you can see the review by going to ROOTSTIME, and clicking on the CD REVIEWS link on the upper left of their homepage. JEFF WYATT is listed under the AUGUST 2008 link. If you are unable to read Dutch, below is an English translation:


'Although "Reflections at Every Corner" is a cd with a diversity that might be considered detrimental, it is interesting. In as much as the style of Jeff Beck is difficult to put a label on…this album ranges from jazz rock tinted guitar numbers, pure blues rock over calm laid back ballads and country tinted songs, all the way to folk and world music. Moreover, Jeff did most everything himself with his own portable studio. A mishmash one might think, on the contrary, this album presents itself as a small story incorporating all these musical styles. The cd begins, for instance quite original. You hear Jeff seat himself, turn on a cheap transistor radio and pass the dial through all sorts of radio stations. Suddenly the sound quality improves, presenting Take it From Me, a Celtic seeming song with mandolin. Into this he also brings a country as well as a folky atmosphere, along with a voice that is reminiscent of Waylon Jennings. Seamlessly, this song blends into a long guitar number Kerala Sunset; a beautiful, dreamy instrumental which introduces itself with the sounds of ocean waves and seagulls. This atmosphere perfectly reproduces that of a sunset on an Indian beach, where you hear the clear influences of Jeff Beck; a man who Jeff Wyatt admits to be an admirer of. Jeff is mainly a guitarist, but he also plays bass guitar, piano and other instruments. In Part-time Love, Full-time Pain he plays a virtuoso bass which is a reminder of another one of his heroes, Jaco Pastorius, who passed away from us much too early. Saving Grace is an Indian style instrumental with tabla and acoustic guitar, bringing folk and world music together. The dark, distinct sounding song Albania is delivered with the vocal help of singer songwriter Camille Miller This follows with the slow, classical sounding piano ballads If She Could Know and Thank You For Loving Me Again which features a beautiful intense guitar solo, with Jeff delivering all he has. Once again we change the pace with something very different; In Her Own Time, dedicated to a deceased friend, Kasandra. Beginning with a recording of loose shreds of a conversation with her, this song features searing slide guitar. The traditional Shenandoah is a beautiful distinct adaptation, following which we get Corae Corae near the cd’s end, sounding much like a blues rock version of the traditional folksong Corinna, Corinna. The eleven-minute title track is a kind of symphonic epic, which brings us to the album’s conclusion. This is indeed a mixed plate. But for the superior beautiful guitar contribution, alone, this cd is worth the purchase.' (Ron)
