Welcome to Monkmusic.net
Home of guitarist/songwriter Jeff Monkman. My new Cd
What Makes It Real
is a collection of eleven original songs recorded in York, Maine USA. My song styles range
from folk, rock and blues. Inspired by such artists as Neil Young, Son Volt & Ray LaMontagne. You can
listen to song samples
here.
My musical journey started at age five with my first guitar recital. Fast forward a few decades and after graduating from the Berklee College of Music I set out to Nashville and joined the songwriting community. I was quickly dragged into the world of 'guitarist for hire' road work playing some uninspiring "new" country music. This occupation soon got old and artistically very unrewarding.
So I started focusing on my writing as my priority in life. With the ultimate goal of having a collection of songs that are genuine and reflect my perspectives and life's experiences both musically and personally.
