Not many artists stay relevant to their fanbase over a sustained period of time, but

California singer-songwriter, Jeff Caudill, is

one such rarity. Fronting and writing for poppunk band GameFaCe in the early 1990s,

his voice and knack for a memorable hook

and melody quickly established a dedicated

following. He led the band around the globe,

gradually shedding youthful exuberance for a

string of increasingly mature releases, before

fnally abandoning the tour van in 2003.

It wasn't long before Caudill reappeared,

acoustic guitar in hand. The new earthier

sound was a logical progression from his punk

roots. The release of acclaimed debut album,

Here's What You Should Do, confrmed this

was an artist equally comfortable mixing pop,

indie and alt-country to create something

fresh. a steady stream of releases followed,

including his second full length, Try To Be Here

and the aptly titled companion eP, Had To Be

There. The trademark pop sensibility burns

as bright as ever, and his lyrics connect with

his loyal fan-base, confrming him as a man

comfortable in his own skin. Never one to

sit still
