Grapevine Music Agency - representing some of the finest roots musicians from the UK and North America. Folk, Blues, Country, Americana.

From Nashville and now rated as one of the finest goodtime/bluegrass duos in the whole of North America. These guys guarantee good vibes, good humour and good music wherever they play.

 

"In a city that values its rhinestones, they are managing to make music that is real and true, the thing itself as opposed to a parody of the thing. Theirs are the songs you long to hear late at night on the interstate, in pool halls and smoky whiskey bars." Ann Patchett, New York Times

 

“It’s the voice, the stories and the honesty of the music that make Jeff & Vida a must see!”

Mike Cobley (Brighton Review)

 

“I’ve been fortunate enough to catch Jeff & Vida a couple of times in Dallas. The first time I saw them I was amazed. The second time I had fun watching everyone else be amazed. I believe they define the roots of American music.”  Michael Johnson (Dallas Rockzilla World)

 

“Jeff and vida return to country's working class roots...The real blue plate special comes with their harmonies. Call it old school country. More Austin than Nashville”. Sing Out Magazine

 

One of New Orleans' best known acoustic acts, Jeff & Vida have recently relocated to Nashville Tennessee. With three critically acclaimed records under their belt and five years of rigorous touring both nationally and internationally, the duo make big impressions wherever they go.

 

Performing original material spanning Appalachian bluegrass to alternative country. Their live performances showcase Vida’s powerful voice and Jeff’s superb picking on mandolin, guitar and banjo and tight well arranged harmonies. With ballads that sound like they could have been written fifty years ago and raucous barnstorming numbers that keep your feet tapping their live shows are exciting and unique, full of humour, good music and unforgettable songs.

 

With past performances including the Ryman Auditorium, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and the Johnny Keenan Banjo Festival in Ireland, Jeff & Vida are emerging as the next up and coming Americana act. A new album is on its way in November 2008.

 

Our View: A fabulous good time duo who combine all the ingredients for a great night out – incredible music, tremendous stories and hugely engaging personalities. If there’s the room they’ll have the whole place jumping!
