Press Kit
Six-and-a half-foot tall children’s singer-songwriter “Big Jeff” DeSmedt first laid hands on a guitar at the age of six. An early interest in American folk music and the Beatles led to progressive rock and modern jazz; and as a member of the New Jersey Folk Project, Big Jeff added Irish folk music, country, and Dixieland to his repertoire.

Big Jeff Images for Press & Media Use
Below you’ll find some images prepared for anyone writing articles about me… there are fairly large jpegs for web use, and zip files containing very high resolution images suitable for print media.
P.S. I’d be much obliged if you didn’t download those zip files unless you’re actually considering using them for a print article, as those files are very big and consume a lot of bandwidth.
The regular jpegs you get when clicking on the pics are pretty darn big and should be just fine for any article being published online!
Thanks!
