Jeff Pitchell is an internationally acclaimed, award winning singer, songwriter, guitarist, and an actor who reminds many fans of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, BB King...but most of all is a top drawing, best selling artist whose explosive guitar playing and impassioned vocals have drawn rave reviews from fans and critics in the USA and Europe alike for simply playing music that Jeff himself has written in the rock/blues genre.

What sets Jeff apart from most others..is (1) his dynamic stage presence and (2) national recognition shown by Jeff's Heavy Hitter CD (Pyramid/EMI) being listed on the national Billboard Charts as #7 for 12 weeks and the majority of the songs were written by Jeff (3) Jeff having the capability to adapt his performances to the type of audience he is perfoming for (spectacular theatre show, danceable and singable, background, etc.!) and (4) Jeff winning two song writing awards from the Great American Song Contest and the International Songwriting Contest (ISC) where one of the judges, John Mayall, reknowned blues legend, now includes in his World Tour one of Jeff's songs "An Eye for an Eye" and will record this song on his next CD and to add to Jeff's honors. He has been contacted many times to be a special guest of another legend...BB King!
