Jukebox Jed

I can offer a wide variety of services ranging from singing and playing guitar to DJing and emceeing. I provide my own state-of-the-art sound reinforcement, so you know it will always sound great. As a seasoned professional, I have a huge variety of styles and influences, so I can cater my performance to suit your crowd. You will not have to worry about anything, entertainment-wise, so you can focus on the other needs and demands associated with hosting an event. I will arrive at least an hour early for setup (only 20-30 minutes of setup time needed), and keep the party going all night long. I am very attentive to the needs of my customers, and I will make sure you are pleased with any services provided. Special requests will be honored if at all possible, and I will do everything in my power to make the event run smoothly with minimal effort on your part.

Although Jukebox Jed, aka: Tennessee Jed, is primarily an original singer/songwriter in the Americana genre, he also plays a large variety of cover songs during his solo performances spanning most genres of popular music. With a repertoire that includes classic and modern rock, folk, country, soul, bluegrass, grunge, R & B, jazz, jam, and world music, Jed can cater his show to the preferences of the crowd, always knowing which song to pick next to keep the mood just right. This versatility makes him a perfect match for any occasion, from backyard party or rowdy bar to listening rooms, dinner crowds, and more formal situations. Jed has been living the life of a real-live jukebox since his early teens, and he has the vocal and guitar chops to not just play, but own the material. Not your typical acoustic "guy in the corner," Jed plays hits from artists you recognize, but not necessarily the ones you expect to hear, all while subtly intermixing his catchy original tunes. The diversity of styles covered provides something for every musical taste, and Jed can happily accommodate most audience requests. Also available with a sideman if a duo is desired.

All I need is an electrical outlet and some sort of shelter in the event of bad weather. My setup is small and efficient, so minimal space is needed. I provide my own stage lighting, but some regular light during setup and teardown is appreciated. I am equally comfortable indoors or out, but if it's very cold, some source of heat may be necessary to keep the fingers limber.
