Concert - Jeff Magidson

A native of San Francisco, Jeff Magidson was born into a family of musicians. After learning to play the piano and syncopate the drums, he decided to devote himself entirely to music, choosing the guitar as his instrument of choice.

A Slide & Bottleneck specialist, he honed his style on the Dobro and readily acknowledges guitar influences ranging from Muddy Waters to Roy Rogers and Ry Cooder, with a healthy dose of Johnny Winter thrown in for good measure.
After returning to San Francisco some twenty years ago, he joined the San Francisco Hot Club and directed a West Coast music school. He has played for several years with the "Gadjo" duo, with The Mules Blues Band, and most recently with the Jeff Magidson & Robinson street Trio.
