Bio

Jeff Arundel is from Minneapolis, Minnesota. He grew up in the city in a curvy, tree-lined neighborhood called “tangletown”. His room was in the back of the third floor, up among the branches and the perfect place for reflection and melancholia, which ran unheeded until he got a little guitar for his 13th birthday. He began recording his music in 1988 with Dale Goulett, lead singer of the famed Minneapolis pop ensemble “Limited Warranty”–JA flung himself over the ramparts and into the realm of sounds and songs. Six studio albums, various awards including the Minnesota Music Award, The NAIRD album of the year finalist award, two prestigious Cities97 samplers, national and international radio play, and then a whole music directing and producing evolution–JA has worked alongside memorable players and execs including Arif Mardin, Ian Ralfini, Bruce Lundvall, Tim Hatfield, Rob Genadek, Niko Bolas, Rob Arthur, Charley Drayton, Rich Mercurio, Jeff Victor, Tommy Barbella, Jon Herchert, Matt Novachis, Joel Sayles, Ken Abdo, Miki Mulvihill Van Tyn, Billy Mclaughlin, Tom Peterson, Nathan Wilson, Steven C, The Conte Brothers, Jeff Allen, Bobby Z, Noah Levy, Billy Oerhlein and others, in a career that has taken him around the world. Currently JA is releasing “Bomb”, his sixth album, and is working with the artist Ashleigh Still on her debut.
