bio

Born and raised in Northeastern Ontario, Jeff Addison is an artist who has been playing and writing his own brand of eclectic music since the early ‘90s. Having spent time living on the “The Rock” (Newfoundland & Labrador), as well as in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan before landing back in Ontario, Jeff has drawn inspiration from a wide range of musical styles and influences. Throughout his travels, Jeff has honed his skills and played in a wide range of groups and venues over the years, from intimate coffee houses in Temiskaming Shores to hosting and an open stage series that helped put New Brunswick’s Mason Jar Pub (Tyler & Terri Mason) on the map.

Throughout his musical career, Jeff has performed in numerous outdoor festivals and private concerts. As a recording artist, Jeff has featured as a musician and songwriter on multiple volumes of the compilation album "Spirit of the North", a showcase of artists and musicians in Northern Ontario in the ‘90s. Jeff was also head volunteer for the Spirit of the North Music Festival.

A passionate performer, Jeff’s musical interests have always involved more than just playing, he is a huge advocate for other performers.

Jeff was co-founder of the Bean Pub Coffee House series, a fundraising event that aspired to provide a venue for Northern Ontario musicians and artists to express themselves and display their talents.

In Placentia Bay, Newfoundland, he was the co-owner of the Big Rock Pub & Lounge, a venue that specialized in providing live music seven days-a-week - from full musical acts to solo acoustic performances.

For the past several years, Jeff has been fully immersed in the studio working on his first full-length album alongside frequent collaborators Ian Auger, Kelly Adams, and several other spectacular guest musicians and artists. He is excited to finally be able to present his music to the world.
