Bio
At the age of 10, Jeff got his first drumkit and a lesson on how to play a two-finger boogie-woogie on the piano from "Judy" - a teenaged family friend. For many years down in his cellar, Jeff played that boogie-woogie fast and slow, and performed long Gene Krupa/Cozy Cole style solos on his drums. Early on, he bought every single rock & roll, rockabilly and rhythm & blues record he could get his hands on. Jeff played in various recording bands for 12 years before writing and recording his own songs, mostly in the style of 50's rock & roll. Jeff fronted 2 bands, The Contenders, then later Jeff Potter & the Rhythm Agents. He co-produced and played many of the instruments on Betsy-Dawn Williams' Rocket Girl CD on El Toro Records. In addition to performing solo, Jeff has played piano on over 200 Wanda Jackson shows (a 2009 inductee into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame). Jeff has releases on the English labels Nervous, Fury, Raucous Records, as well as Dynamite Records, US, and his latest on El Toro Records, Spain. Studio work has included recording on Columbia, Vanguard and Buddha Records. Jeff still likes to make trips down to the cellar to play the drums... ........ <a href="http://s426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/beedee08/?action=view&current=ConglomBlue.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/beedee08/ConglomBlue.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
