Jeff Campbell - "Stop and Go" CD Release - Red Devil Lounge

Oh how I love me some Jeff Campbell music. If you aren't familiar, Jeff is a San Francisco songwriter... and a damn good one.

I've done a number of photo shoots for this guy, usually for his band Pine & Battery (iTunes link). A few months ago I was commissioned to do some promo work for his upcoming solo effort "Stop and Go", and the other night I was asked to document his celebratory CD release show at the Red Devil Lounge in San Francisco.

What a fiasco! Not only were all the artists on the bill amazingly talented, but Jeff had like 9 people on stage with him throughout his setlist to help him deliver to a packed audience.

I should also mention that he has probably the biggest group of San Francisco talent make appearances on this record: Max Delaney, Charlie Wilson, Megan Slankard, Ryan Manley, Joel Ackerson, Brad Brooks, Kyle Caprista, Larissa Waters, Austin Willacy, Ezra Lipp, James Deprato, Jeff Symonds, and who knows who else.

Oh, and Jeff was a big proponent of me NOT moving to Seattle this year, which is part of the reason I still have a California address. So you can thank him for that.

Unless you wish I had left; then you can send him hate mail.

But regardless, here are a few photos from the event, and go listen to clips of his upcoming release at www.jeffcampbellmusic.com. There's a fantastic clip of his rendition of "Drive" by The Cars.
