"Musicianship is probably one of the main things I often look at with a little more scrutiny than any other aspect. Jeff Tweeter doesn't seem to have any problems in that field. His guitar work is superior. The vocals are strong and contain a uniqueness in the tone and feeling that isn't heard by every other male singer out there. This is a solid rock album with all of the trimmings.  I would definitely like to hear more from this artist. Jeff mixes things up with instrumentals and lyrically powered songs. This music has a strong progressive rock aura to it, but will not be shunned by those individuals who like the straight ahead rock groove. Jeff shows that he can rock with the best of them. "

Consumed by music since early childhood, Jeff's first real lasting influences became Fleetwood Mac and Kansas. He started playing guitar at age 12, discovering Black Sabbath and Leo Kottke at 13. From there on nothing else mattered.

Jeff was engulfed by the "cover band syndrome" from 1982-96. In '89 at age 21, he got his hands on a friend's four track recorder, changing his life forever through the creative fulfillment he found in the recording process.

A year later, Jeff credits continuous changes in his life to the meeting of three key people: Nick Clinton and Jeff & Jana Thornton. Jeff & Jana were and are dedicated to the art of recording and songwriting, bonding an unstoppable kinship. Clinton and Tweeter quickly became collaborators and over the years a lot of joyful noise has been raised.

In 1994, a six track cassette recorder was aquired and Jeff never looked back, eventually throwing in the towel performing with cover bands. Jeff joined the MIR creative team in April of 1999 and expresses he feels lucky to work with some great songwriters: Jana Thornton, John Wilber & Dominic Clinton.

2000 brought the realization of the debut solo album, "how long was i sleeping". A fantastic representation of Jeff's songwriting and production talents!

Besides the solo project - hear more from Jeff on Maple Island Records various artist projects, VAP ONE, VAP TWO, VAP THREE and the Lost Cabin Sessions - Volumes One, Two & Three. He also makes appearances on Jana's "Closet Musician" & "To Make a Difference - Revisited", as well as John Wilber's, “The Road Home”.
