A Brief introduction:

My name is Jeff Magidson. I was born in San Francisco
into a family of musicians and have been playing some instrument or other as long as I can remember. First the family piano, then drums, at 15 I picked up the guitar haven't dropped it since. I attended U.C. Santa Barbara, U.C. Berkeley, then in 1983 went to study in France for a year. While there I was asked to join a 'Jug Band' and travel Europe playing acoustic Blues and Jazz. I dropped
everything and 'joined the circus'. My studies ended and my career began.

In 1990 I started performing solo as a one man band, playing simultaneously the bass drum,high hat, dobro, and harmonicaIn 1993 I started a trio under the name 'John Doe' and began playing my own compositions, a mix of Blues, Folk, and Funk.
Three albums, two kids, and ten years later, my wife and I decided to move the family to California. We've been
here since 2004 and perform together under
the name 'Duo Gadjo'
My wife and I also play with the Hot Club of San Francisco
