Folk Rock / Psych Folk

If you're wondering where I came from, here's the story.

Born in New York City, I spent most of my adolescent years in a suburb of Detroit. When the Beatles hit the scene in the early 60s, my chums and I took turns emulating the Fab Four with the help of vinyl recordings and broom stick instruments. This was truly an exciting time. It wasn't long before I saved up and bought myself a solid-body electric guitar adn a cheap amp, teamed up with some chums and started my first rock band. Since I was the only one who was willing to sing, I became the "lead" singer as well as a guitarist. We were covering songs by the Rolling Stones, the Doors, Jefferson Airplane and others, as well as the local rock hits. Cousin Ed joined the group as a singer for a while, but, as all garage bands of the time did, we broke up after a year or so of playing parties and sock-hops.

Shortly thereafter, I found myself in upstate New York with an acoustic guitar… trying to figure out what to do with it. While there, I met a beautiful young lady (it's not what you think) who, besides having a wonderful, haunting voice, was a much better guitasrist than I. She taught me how to fingerpick… THIS was a whole new world. Around the same time, it dawned on me that sombody, somewhere had written all of these songs I was learning… maybe I could join the "tin-pan-alley" gang too…

Back in Detroit, Cousin Ed & I started writing some songs… I was also writing some alone and worked with a few otehr fleeting collaborators now and then. Also started performing solo at coffeehouses adn bars in the area. As time strummed on, I expanded my circle to gigging in Chicago, Cincinnati, Boston and a few otehr hot-spots like Saratoga Springs, NY.

Somewhere in there, I published my first "album" - It's All Rootbeer - featuring ten original songs. couuple of years later, I put out For Sam, another collection of original material. My friend and music partner, Tom Shader (www.tomshader.com) accompanied me on both. Tom was (and still is) a wonderful, innovative bass player. He also played cello, h cello, harmonica and did some singing… sometimes all at once! He's gone on to play with Jesse Colin Young and many fine jazz players in mid-California.

While I'm dropping names, I've had the pleasure of opening shows for Danny Kalb (Blues Project) at the Cafe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY and both Pat Paulsen and Steve Martin at the Raven Gallery in Detroit. I've also been honored to play in various concerts and benefits with Rich Delgrosso, Phhil Esser, Claudia Schmidt, Ron Coden and a host of other wonderful musicians. In the 70s, I also managed to produce recordings for Chuck Mitchell (Combinations) and Mike Smith & Barbara Barrow (Zen) on the now defunct Bird Productions label.

While stepping back from performance from several years, I assumed a new identity as a computer-ddude, also doing tech (lights and sound) for a nearby theater group. And then, while working on (of all things) an M.B.A., I got an idea for a short theatrical presentation, linking several songs from my repertoire with a simple script. I gathered some dear friends, Marie Boyle, Peter DiSante, Jac Purdon & Kathy Fisk and we performed Vignettes as a workshop. What fun!!! The audience seemed to like it… so I was sorta re-hooked. A few years later, some of the same people and some new ones did another collection of acoustic music - Jus' Broadway Folk - as a workshop and eventually recorded it as a non-commercial product.

Marie Boyle (now Marie Reinman) cast me as Jim in Pump Boys & Dinettes in 1994. I was ready to do that for a long time, bu alas, it was only a two week run.

When my daughter, Carrie, was young, we recorded several "kiddie tapes" as a family… these were distributed to friends who had children. And then, the year I turned 50, I started doing mini-concerts for charity and recorded Silverwear, a tribute to friends and friendship.

Since then, I've been performing whenever I can find a audience, doing a couple of mini-concerts each year to raise money for various charities, concerts for middle school students, a short annual concertlet for Nurses Day at a local hospital… whatever. I just love performing… like to think of my offering as "thoughtful fun".

So, if you see a flier advertising a performance, c'mon down and join the fun… you'll probably get a chance to sing along. AND, if you'd like to join my email list, go the the Guestbook page of this site and leave your info… I PROMISE not to give it to anyoine else.!

~ Jef Fisk


Вспоминает Джеф Фиск: "Это было время "Битлз"… Я купил электрогитару и вместе с друзьями организовал рок-группу. Мы исполняли каверы на песни Rolling Stones, Тhe Doors, Jefferson Airplane. Через год наша музыкальная деятельность закончилась. Вскоре я нашел себя как акустического гитариста: это было в Нью-Йорке. Тогда же я начал писать песни. Вернувшись в Детройт, я играл в кофейнях и барах. Вышел мой первый альбом — It's All Rootbeer, — на котором было десять оригинальных песен, а через пару лет — альбом For Sam, также оригинальный. Мне приходилось играть со многими выдающимися музыкантами, такими как Рич Делгроссо, Клаудиа Шмидт, Рон Коден и др.
Я выступал везде, где можно было найти аудиторию: мини-концерты, концерты для школьников, концерты в больницах… Мне вообще нравится выступать. Мне нравится, когда мою музыку называют задумчиво-веселой…"
