Jeffrey Halford & the Healers

Performs Live In Concert@Iron Springs Brewery in Fairfax - Wednesday, July 18

(Fairfax, Calif.) - Move over, Robert Downey Jr.: There's another 'Iron Man' in the person of Americana/Roots singer-songwriter-guitarist Jeffrey Halford, who along with his band The Healers, perform at Iron Springs Pub & Brewery, 765 Center Blvd., Fairfax, Wednesday, July 18. 8 p.m. Free. Info: (415) 485-1005 or log onto www.ironspringspub.com.

For over two decades, Bay Area resident Jeffrey Halford has sung with passion and conviction about important subjects ranging from the plight of Native Americans to the raging tragedy caused by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans not long ago - hence his very apropos monicker, "Americana Troubadour."

Halford delivers a uniquely American melting pot of roots, blues, rock, and kick-ass pop - take some Southern soul, add a heap of Texas storytelling, a dash of Bay Area's freewheeling liberal spirit/literary leanings/seedier side, throw in some desert sunshine and dirt, then stir together with an architect's eye for detail and durability and you've got yourself an idea why Paste magazine recently named him to their "Ten Most Influential Artists of the Decade."

A guy who doesn't play favorites when it comes to words and music, Jeffrey Halford knows how to get his point across subtly, and he also knows when to hammer it home. But most of all, he knows how to craft music that grabs your attention and keeps it - on record, but particularly on stage, where he and the band make you want to jump out of your seat..Jeffrey has shared the stage with Los Lobos, Taj Mahal, Guy Clark, Robert Earl Keen, and George Thorogood to name a few. Turns out the streets of San Francisco might have been the best teacher of all.

Watch a live acoustic Jeffrey Halford performance of his tune "Louisiana Man," about Hurricane Katrina:


Jeffrey Halford has been called "An Americana heavyweight" for his heartfelt songs about the conditions of the everyday man and woman in America. Among his most memorable: "Cry of Hope," about Americans' need to keep faith in America; and "Louisiana Man," about the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster and our government's slow response to it. As validation of Halford's writing prowess, he won "2009 Songwriter of the Year" at the 5th Annual South Bay Music Awards. BROKEN CHORD went as high as #8 on the Americana radio charts. Based in San Francisco over the last 15 years, Halford's original roots rock 'n roll songs etch a uniquely American, and specifically California, landscape.
