Born in Copley, Ohio, outside of Akron, Jeff started playing by emulating
60's blues rock guitarists Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix,
etc...Then, following up on the artists that these musicians cited as their
inspiration, he delved deeper into the blues listening to Muddy Waters,
Buddy Guy, and anyone named King --B.B., Albert, and Freddie.
Golub was in his teens when he first heard a Wes Montgomery record. This
moment set him on a whole new course which led him to study at Berklee
College of Music in Boston. While in Boston he played in The James
Montgomery Band. From Boston Jeff moved to New York in 1980 where his first
major gig was with rocker Billy Squier.
Jeff appeared on 7 albums and 3 world tours with Billy. He released his
first solo recording, "Unspoken Words" for Gaia Records in 1988 but really
embraced his role as band leader and instrumentalist with the release of
"Avenue Blue" in 1994 for Mesa Bluemoon/Atlantic records.
