About Me

Frustrated by the chasm between children's music and parents' music, Jeff W, an attorney and musician, sought to create a new musical genre. Music that adults and children could listen to. The result is a sonic cornucopia. Rock, metal, modern folk, blues, polka and bluegrass all converge in one darned good record. The music has been featured on the wonderful children's music radio show, Kids' Corner, on WXPN in Philadelphia.
Kids' Night Out relies on a variety of influences to make up its tasty musical stew. On Funky Penguin, you can hear Beatle-esque melodies and harmonies set to a Metallica-like guitar crunch. Crazy Dance features a heart pounding rockabilly beat, not unlike Dave Edmunds. Mommy to the Rescue is a soulful, blues-driven concoction, with a horn section influenced by Steely Dan and Blood, Sweat and Tears. The result? Music that can be appreciated on a variety of levels; funny, mellifluous and dance-able, for children and parents alike. Families will heal, Ipods will disappear, and the world will be a better place.
Jeff is also currently playing in The Works, an original progressive rock group.
