Music has been the driving influence in the lives of Jeff Lewis and Dean Keller.

Writing and performing his own songs since 1997, Jeff Lewis’ professional musical career stretches back over fifteen years, incorporating a broad range of styles and techniques. From his time behind the drums with Awake and Dreaming, where he worked with noted songwriter Chris Trapper (currently of the Push Stars), through his work with the original rock bands The Trade and ElderWilde, Jeff has consistently brought his distinctive approach to each project. A collector of diverse experiences, Jeff has also toured under the Big Top with Circus America and has provided voice talent for the High Falls Laser Show as well as the holiday program at the Strasenburg Planetarium.

In his debut self-produced CD, Knee-jerk Apologist, Jeff showcases his songwriting mastery and keen musical sense, creating a collection of songs that are as memorable as they are unique.

As a professional musician, Dean Keller has played with such music greats as The Glenn Miller Orchestra, Tito Puente, Ben Vereen and The Temptations. Dean currently performs with One Sweet World, Prime Time Funk and The Dave Rivello Ensemble and he can be heard on the latest self-titled CD from Phantom Planet, including their breakout single, Big Brat. A true multi-instrumentalist, Dean accompanies Jeff on anything from Fender Rhodes to bass guitar to tin whistle and a variety of reed instruments.

Experienced private music instructors, Jeff Lewis and Dean Keller share a studio at the Village Gate Square in Rochester, NY.
