Welcome to the Indaba Music webpage for Jeff Findl. Jeff is a hobbyist-guitar player who loves composing and recording instrumental songs. Jeff keeps busy with the Association of Fingerstyle Guitarists and performs occasionally at open-mics, art galleries, weddings, or other small gigs. Jeff has had a few modest musical accomplishments. At past Los Angeles Music Awards, Jeff was awarded Instrumental Artist of the Year, and was a two-time nominee for Guitarist of the Year. Jeff's most recent CD - Beach Buzz Instrumentals remained on the New Age Reporter Top-100 Airplay Chart for five months (10/07 to 2/08). This 21-song CD and digital downloads are available online at CdBaby.com and Amazon.com,as well as Napster, Appletunes and others. One of Jeff's songs was recently placed in a major department store TV commercial, which was way cool. “Jeff Findl and the Acoustic Accomplices” is a group of eight (8) Los Angeles area musicians that recorded 21-original songs featuring the nylon-string guitar, piano, and other orchestral accompaniment. This musical group was a studio-created band brought together by Los Angeles record producer Ronan Chris Murphy (a very talented producer who works with both the famous and 1st timers) to record the guitar-based compositions of Jeff Findl. All the guest musicians that performed on Jeff's album have credentials that certainly exceed Jeff's. The elegant keyboards were performed by Giovanna Imbesi who has toured with Yanni and Andy Summers of the Police. The group also included bassist Ian Sheridan who actively tours with Jason Mraz. Drummer Victor Bisetti was a long time percussionist for the popular band, Los Lobos. In his touring days, pedal steel guitarist Dave Pearlman played with Dan Fogelberg's band. Jeff hopes to be a lifetime learner of music and contribute well thought out compositions as long as the the ancient muses of myth cooperate.
