Jeff Solomon, one of the only musicians who can call New York his home, writes songs that pop with quirk, funk, & class. His solo shows, which find him switching off between piano & baritone ukulele, have been attracting large & attentive audiences since 2003. Jeff studied sax & composition at Cornell University under the guidance of Steven Stucky (2005 Pulitzer for Music). He soon began using his training to turn unconventional chord structures into hooks, pairing them with playful lyrics that twist & braid multiple meanings into a rope... of... words... Jeff became a regular on the Ithaca music circuit, performing as a saxophonist in four bands & playing singer/songwriter gigs opening for indie poppers such as Ari Hest. In 2002, Jeff & four other Cornell alums formed the popular sketch comedy group Elephant Larry, which recently sold out the entire three-month run of its latest show & was called 'a hilarious multimedia mix of the deadpan & the maniacal' by the New York Times. He serves as EL’s resident composer & songwriter, which keeps him busy along with session work as an arranger, saxophonist, & keyboardist.
