Jeff Walters, a life in music

Jeff Walters left this life on January 30, 2026, two days short of his 82nd birthday.

He had been playing rock 'n roll since 1957 — on guitar and Hammond B3 organ. In recent years he performed as a one-man band with a Parker Fly guitar, self-created rhythm tracks and a mellow, well-seasoned voice.

He was also a walking, talking textbook of rock 'n roll history, who entertained his audience between numbers.

Music he regularly covered includes tunes by the Grateful Dead, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Cochran etc.

He played in wine bars, at weddings, in nightclubs — wherever music lovers get up and boogie. (See the Video page for videos of past gigs.)

Jeff also composed original tunes, available on the album "Right on Time." Click on the SOUNDCLOUD link to listen to his cover tunes and original music.
