Hello world, we're back!
Jeffro Dean and The Saltines (JDS) spent 2015 doing all sorts of things that were great for the band. We managed to start getting good paying gigs that actually like the music we play. (Which is an awesome feeling and we want to thank everyone for that)! We played weddings, birthday parties, company events and a few other randos.
At the end of it all we did manage to write and record our new self-titled album, 'Jeffro Dean and The Saltines'. It is a set of 6 original songs written and performed by a combination of AM Steffel, Jason Ralph, Jeff Schloesser (Jeffro Dean) and Jon Howard. We each have at least one song we wrote and sing lead on. It makes for a nice mix of styles musically as well as vocally.
Our new album will be shared here later today for streaming and free download!! Listen, download and share the music you love.
We sparked many new interests in 2015 and hope to reconnect here with more in 2016. When it arrives, take a listen to the new music and let us know what you think.
Lastly, we host a weekly open mic on Thursdays at Nick's House. From here on we'll be performing the entire New CD weekly LIVE! Come check out the music and join us on stage for open mic.
Thanks and enjoy the music!

Its been months since our last post. We've been hosting the open mic, learning songs, playing gigs, writing songs and FINALLY....recording songs. They will be released slowly but surely between now and New Years 2015! As usual, hope you enjoy the show!

JEFFRO DEAN has taken another step musically by forming a full 4-piece band JEFFRO DEAN AND THE SALTINES!
We are a band currently focused on covers, but are writing original music to be recorded and shared in Jan of 2015!
We host an open mic at Y-Not III on Tuesday nights at 9PM. All are welcome and encouraged to share musical talents.

Late as usual, but finally posting the 14 tracks (7 original and 7 covers) for the Melodic Roots album. Another year of changes including new instruments, skills … and some regression as well.
I still get to say that this is my best so far. Hopefully that trend continues. Enjoy and Happy Holidays.

The final song list is ready and CD covers and labels are ready to go. Just a bit more editing and then some mastering.

Basically going through all of these and adding the rhythm section. So far I'm very pleased.
Lies, lies, lies…Empty is completely different. Vocals, bass, guitar (Strumming pattern) and even the tempo and key are different from version 01. Go back and compare ya bum!!!

For both songs the added layers were percussion and bass. One step closer.
