jeff greer: who

jeff greer moved to the seattle area in spring of 2006. his former band in VA had disbanded almost 2 years prior. but now jeff is back with a new sound and a new passion for music. bringing his uniquely passionate vocals and his energetic and vibrant guitar-playing style; weaving in his political, social and spiritual philosophy into each song, he has become an advocate for love in the world and for raising awareness of social injustice and human slavery.

"i write and sing songs about justice... 
justice for...
-those enslaved by sex trade, human trafficking, and slave labor
-those whose freedom has been taken away because someone more powerful wanted theirs first.
-those who live outside, without a house, without a home, without a friend to love them, care for them and see them as equals
-anyone who is oppressed, condemned, rejected, pushed aside or held back because of their gender, race, religious beliefs, country of residence, sexual preference or socio-economic status...

i also write and sing songs about other things too...that are not quite as political, but extremely important.. like:
love. pain. suffering. healing. restoration. reconciliation. God. Shalom. peace. hurt. sorrow. darkness. light. fear. joy. hope. faith. and once again... love!" --j.greer
