In the early eighties at Camp B'nai B'rith Perlman Jeff discovered musical theater in productions of Pippen and Guys and Dolls.
In 1992 Jeff formed Megrim with Jason Weiner in Binghamton, New York and recorded original, heavy indie music in the vein of Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr., and Sonic Youth.
With Less, a four-artist collaboration on HUSH records, he began working with both Rob Jones and Chad Crouch of those labels, putting out Slowness (1999), which led to out of town shows in Seattle, San Francisco, and Chico, Ca.
His band lineup has included Rachel Blumberg, Chris Funk, Adam Selzer, Molly Hardy, Tove Holmberg, Dave Depper, Ben Barnett, and Tofer Towe.
Jeff has played regularly at Pete's Candy Store in Brooklyn over the years and has recently completed the recording of Trouble Trust (2020), out in spring 2020.
