Jeffrey Gaines has been heralded for his soul-searching lyrics and his powerful live performances.
With only his voice and a guitar for accompaniment, Jeffrey Gaines has earned a reputation as a captivating performer, entertaining audiences everywhere he goes.
Raised in Harrisburg, PA by parents more inclined to spin soul classics by Aretha and Otis than the New Wave and Brit Rock blasting from their son’s room, a teenaged Gaines began singing and playing guitar in several local garage bands. He soon decided to set out on his own and quickly landed a record deal, releasing Jeffrey Gaines, the first of his five studio releases. The album garnered four stars from The Philadelphia Inquirer, describing Gaines as “…an ethereal soul…insistent, impassioned, full of self-knowledge.” Somewhat Slightly Dazed, and Galore followed. Interview Magazine called Gaines’ music “soul-searching” and “refreshingly free of jargon, sentiment or cliché.”
Jeffrey Gaines released Always Be (Artemis) to both critical and commercial praise. Featuring his emotional interpretation of “In Your Eyes” and his own soaringly beautiful “Always Be,” the album hit #5 on R&R Callout America CHR/Pop list, also reaching #45 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. The New York Post proclaimed Always Be as “a dozen-song mix…that completely illustrates the depth he is capable of.”
Gaines’ impressive catalogue grew with Toward The Sun, produced by Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, and Crowded House). The Boston Globe declared that “Gaines’ soulful, wounded vocals make a case for his being one of pop’s finest singers…an artist who deserves far more attention than some of his more hyped, yet less talented peers.” Mojo noted, “This established soul-folkie’s sexy growl has an underlying edge, making it a memorable album. Heartfelt unpretentious.”
Throughout his career, Gaines has built a rapport with his fans unlike any other in popular music today. Gaines goes as far as letting his fans influence the songs he performs each night. “When it’s just me playing, I only know the first song I’m going to play, but from there the energy and the vibe tell me what the next song is going to be. Someone may yell a song, and I’m like ‘Exactly! Good call.’ That’s so fun to me, keeping it exciting and spontaneous. I don’t even know what's around the corner, and the crowd doesn’t either.” Based on that relationship with the audience, Gaines released Jeffrey Gaines Live (CD / DVD) followed by Live In Europe, which was recorded during his 25-city tour with Joe Jackson. JG’s 2016 return to Europe will be accompanied with long-awaited new music, with a release to follow in early 2017.
Just so damn good.
Been a fan of his for like 20 years. Always nice to hear some new music from him!
Yes I agree.
Been a Fan for 20 plus years, and I'm still amazed with every performance. Man, you keep getting better and better. OH, and Your new album is AMAZING!!
Genius.....
It was one bitter cold winter night in NJ at a small little coffee house for an intimate show. My first experience at a Jeffrey Gaines performance. I was completely mesmerized. Jeffrey...thank you. I’ve been to a few more since and plan on many more.
my uncle was still alive. i traveled to Monmouth University in order to witness a summer gig inside Pollack Theatre.
Jeffrey Gaines was introduced to me by WMCR. Headmasters of Mine was on heavy rotation. i still listen to it all even now. He is so soulful and heartfelt and a bit melancholic. that's what helps me cope with closure of past relationships. i listen to music inside out. Thanks JG. Go Red Foxes.
My favorite solo artist of all time.
JEFFREY GAINES KEEPS DELIVERING!
Thank you for this great compilation of tunes.
Seen him several times in some venues over the past few years...he is so special!
xoxo Vicki
Jeffrey...I first caught your act when you opened for the Wilson sisters in San Antonio some time ago. Fast forward, I’m still in the Alamo City. Some damn good people here. Love this set. Had a lucid dream/vision some time ago with you in it. There is a bright future coming to this 🌎, our eternal home. We will be working together closely. I never forget my friends and you are one of the chosen ones. Thank you for taking the road less traveled and following your music dream. Love you brother.
what a great live session!
thanks for watching, spread the word!
Can not believe I was the 3rd person to like this new album. An honor in my life. Bought the downloaded version, the CD version, and the "vinal!" Yup it is the most fantastic thing to happen in years! I am bringing the vinal to this Junes Beacon NY performance 2018. Hope he signs it. So excited. I feel like a kid again! Thank You, Jeffrey, Thank you so much...
GREAT, GREAT ALBUM! ONE OF MY 2017 FAVORITE! XO
Love JG so excited to be reviewing his new record.
Timeless voice - Timeless Singer/Songwriter = #JeffreyGaines
Amazing! Jeffrey was born a couple decades to late. Imagine Jeffrey performing in the late 60's early 70's. He would have been a rock god. What a true talent.
