Jeff Crosby and the Refugees at The Loft
Born and raised in Idaho, Jeff Crosby has been sharing his unique perspective of Americana throughout the US and beyond for the past decade. His songs collect his experiences of growing up in a small town in Idaho, living in a shoebox apartment off Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and living on the road while playing 250 shows a year. After spending the last two years splitting his time between playing guitar for Widespread Panic singer-songwriter Jerry Joseph and performing with his own band, Jeff hit the studio to record his fourth full-length album, “Postcards from Magdalena.”
