Jeff Schaeffer

Jeff Schaeffer (Hohenwald, TN) grew up in Lincoln, NE learning to play guitar in the 5th grade and later to jam with his father and uncles on porches and around campfires. After serving in the US Navy, he spent many years jamming and playing in bluegrass and country bands along the Front Range of Colorado before hitting the road as a full-time RV’er with his wife Karen. Presently on their acreage in Tennessee, Jeff is always interested in fostering a love for bluegrass and old-time music, and thrives on passing along the music of the generations.
