Jeff Mamett

Jeff Mamett is a singer-songwriter whose country and western songs have an authentic, earthy quality. He is a storyteller, influenced by writers such as Guy Clark and John Prine, merging elements of American roots music.
His album, "Carry Me Back", has been critically acclaimed. Making A Scene Magazine chose it as one of the top 40 Americana CD's of 2018. He was chosen as one of Wide Open Country's "Artists to Watch”.
Jeff started learning the guitar when he was 7.
By 13, he was working with older musicians, playing dances, bars and fraternity parties. He honed his skills on the road with club bands, playing 6 sets a night, 6 nights a week, before ending up in L.A. and then Nashville. There, he gained experience recording and touring with various artists.
Once he and his wife began to have children, Jeff decided to leave the road and the music industry to be a dad. The next 26 years would be spent in the cattle business.
"In 2013, I stopped at a music store that had all of these Martin guitars. I pulled one off the wall and started playing it and couldn’t stop. I bought it there and then. As I began practicing at home, songs just started coming out of me.” His first album, "Here's Your Hat” was released in 2015.
