Raised in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, by soul-music-loving parents, he began his musical life playing guitar in local cover combos, before his songwriting muse became too insistent to ignore. He soon landed his first record deal shortly after graduating from high school, and in 1992 released his widely acclaimed debut album<em><span style='font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;'>Jeffrey Gaines</span></em>. The eponymous disc won massive amounts of critical and audience acclaim, spawning the hit "Hero in Me."<em><span style='font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;'>Somewhat Slightly Dazed</span></em>(1994) and<em><span style='font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;'>Galore</span></em>(1998) further expanded his audience.<em><span style='font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;'>Interview</span></em>magazine described Gaines' work as "soul-searching" and "refreshingly free of jargon, sentiment or cliché."<br />With a quarter-century of recording and performing under his belt, Jeffrey Gaines is enjoying life and music more than ever. "Nowadays, I know what the job is about, so there's nothing to stress about,' he says. "I know that there's people out there who want it, so I have the opportunity to extend their experience, and I'm thankful for that. Even though there's a long gap between<em><span style='font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;'>Toward the Sun</span></em>and<em><span style='font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;'>Alright</span></em>, this one continues that story and that sound. I guess I could lay my albums all out and see that they tell a story, but personally I prefer to keep looking forward."</span></p> <p style='font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 6.0pt 0in 6.0pt 0in;'><span style='font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #bfbfbf; mso-themecolor: background1; mso-themeshade: 191; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #BFBFBF; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: background1; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: lumm=75000;'>Since Jeffrey Gaines' self-titled debut was released, this expressive and dynamic singer, guitarist, and songwriter has been heralded for his soul-searching confessional lyrics and his powerful live performances.
