Jeffrey Halford & the Healers
San Francisco singer/songwriter/guitarist Jeffrey Whitmore Halford was born in Dallas, Texas, and grew up in the early 1960s listening to Roger Miller on a $2 transistor radio. In 1963, the year JFK was shot, his parents, Colin and Effie Lou, headed west with their two young sons to Los Angeles in their '59 El Dorado.
By the time Halford turned 18, he had moved 10 times between LA and San Francisco-his dad in search of that proverbial better job and better life. He criss-crossed the state, living in, among others, Torrance, Berkeley, West L.A., Westchester, and San Mateo and weaned on the musical maelstrom of LA radio in the '60s and '70s. Flat broke at times and battling the bottle, Halford's parents had low points-evictions, Christmas trees crafted from fishing poles, hangers, and telephone books, and car crashes, with his mom demonstrating a propensity for totaling his dad's favorite cars-and better times, when the family listened to music and read. Surrounded by the albums of Ray Charles, Dave Brubeck, Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell, Elvis, and Buffalo Springfield, Halford soaked up the best of American music. His mom's favorites were Dylan Thomas and Walt Whitman, while Halford's were Raymond Carver and Pablo Neruda. Books and music were the family's salvation.
Based in San Francisco over the last 15 years, he's been touring the country with his band, the Healers. They've played shows with some of the most acclaimed artists and songwriters, including Taj Mahal, Los Lobos, Etta James, The Radiators, Robert Earl Keen, John Hammond, Augie Meyers, Dave Alvin, Guy Clark, and Chuck Prophet, among others. His newest and fifth CD, "Railbirds," is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed "Hunkpapa." His original roots rock 'n roll songs etch a uniquely American, and specifically California, landscape.
