Bio / Background
"It's an almost even mix of jazzy blues and country - a mix that only Gatemouth Brown and Willie Nelson seem able to pull off. Until now, that is. Bisch does a fine job of mixing the two... music fans, those interested in true quality songs and performances, will like it just fine.

"...rather than merely mirroring current trends in the music business, Jeff Bisch has absorbed the influences of time-tested songwriters such as Springsteen, Waits, Croce and Chapin into his material.

"...it's a very familiar yet distant sound, distant in the sense that it's hard to believe that there are people alive today who sing like that, and not just to be heard on old records..."
"Jeff's songs were ALL first-rate, especially [Daddy Swing Me Higher]; very moving in the same way as Joni's Circle Game, and yes it made me cry."
"Jeff's voice has such an authenticity to it, and his blues playing on a subtle yet insightful song like "Obvious Blues" is pure delight...another title, "Crucifix" was very moving..."
.""...[one of the] highlights for me was getting to hear someone as authentic-sounding as Jeff sing in that low drawl..."
