Albums Jeff Jacobson / Lunch In The Park EP

Known for his work with New York City indie favorites, the Undisputed Heavyweights, Jeff Jacobson released his solo debut album on Family Records.

A guitarist since the age of five and songwriter since his early teens, Jacobson started as a session player, touring and recording with various major label artists, which enabled him to work extensively with veteran producer Phil Ramone and perform on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Jacobson then left performing for a career in music transcribing, creating the note-for-note guitar scores for more than 250 major artists' sheet music books including Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Ryan Adams, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Metallica, Wolfmother, Gorillaz, Guns N Roses, and even Anthrax.

In 2003, Jacobson returned to the music scene and began playing his own music, beginning with the open mic circuit, where the live recording of the very first song he performed in public was chosen for a "best of" CD featuring Greenwich Village musicians distributed by Underground Music Online. Jacobson quickly graduated to his own shows and along the way garnered various songwriting accolades/awards including being one of ten musicians among 400 selected to play for the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He was also a finalist in the Williamsburg Singer/Songwriter Competition, and voted one of the "14 Best Singer/Songwriters of Greenwich Village" by Underground Music Online. Jacobson is the only songwriter to snag this title every year since 2003, making it a unique achievement.

"The album ends, and it's good that most CD players have a repeat function so you can go right back to the beginning..." - Boog City

"Jeff Jacobson definitely is no musical lightweight. Paying homage to the past without sounding derivative, it's no wonder that he's won several accolades as a singer/songwriter." - Deli Magazine
