Artist Spotlight: Jeff Crosby & The Refugees

Kicking off a warm start to the week with an all new edition of Artist Spotlight! This week, we have an emerging folk rock act based out of Donnelly, Idaho by the name of Jeff Crosby & The Refugees. The band consists of the aforementioned Jeff Crosby, his brother Andy Crosby, Daniel Blumenfeld, and Will Prescott. The band has a peaceful, relaxing musical tonality to them similar to the likes of The Eagles and Neil Young with a thoughtful, melodic musical precision that runs deep throughout all the musical crevices of their music. I stumbled across these guys a couple of months ago, and I was amazed with the overall simplicity of their music that doesn't feel the need to do too much, and instead relies on a musical accompaniment featuring lovely accordion melodies, some flute interludes, and the sheer beauty of Jeff's voice that sets everything in motion here and will make you feel glad that you came along for the ride and were able to bask in his musical company at the same time. A great undiscovered act that is definitely worth opening up to listeners of other genres. Some recommended tracks for you to have a listen at include "This Old Town" and "I Don't Know".
