Jefferson Grizzard is a singer/songwriter from Rome,
GA who has recently released his first album "A Crack in the Door" on
Backporch Syndicate Records. Jefferson began both playing the guitar
and writing at the young age of thirteen. As he grew up his writing
style began to take the mold of the many artists Jefferson had grown up
listening to. It is easy to hear the stylistic murmurings of such
artists as Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Donovan, and Kris Kristofferson
within Jefferson's songs. Musically "A Crack in the Door" echoes the
tonality of 60's and 70's Rock and Roll and Country music.
Growing up in a small town, Jefferson spent a lot of
time listening to his father's records - citing acts such as The
Beatles and The Band as major influences. By the age of eighteen
Jefferson had already written over a hundred songs. After graduating
high school he attended St. Edwards University in Austin, TX. While in
Austin, Jefferson continued to write and frequented local bars and
clubs, observing different acts and managing to get on the stage a few
times himself.
After his freshman year, Jefferson decided to
pursue music full time. He returned to Georgia, met with producer Ben
McRee, and made his way up to Nasvhille. The record was cut at the
Sound Emporium in Nashville, and after a few months of tracking at The
Temple in Rome, GA the record was complete. Released on March 19th,
2010, "A Crack in the Door" has been met with much critical acclaim.
