Jeff Standfield

Brief Bio

Acoustic guitar, harmonicas, vocals in folk / roots / americana music styles

Award winning West coast singer songwriter Jeff Standfield entertains with poignant original lyrics, rich acoustic guitar, tenor vocals, and a warm and fun banter. Discovering the power and beauty of music as a young boy, he learned how songwriting and performing was a way to process his emotions as well as entertain others.

When Jeff was an infant, he contracted a rare virus causing permanent paralysis in his legs. Despite this and other challenges, he excelled as a counsellor helping thousands of people, in business as a contract negotiator, and as a three time Paralympic Games swimmer, world record holder and world ranked competitive adaptive rower. Jeff draws on these and other life experiences as a performer, and speaker.
