Jeff Cramer is a Colorado-based singer-songwriter whose music blends vivid storytelling with Americana roots and layered, cinematic textures. Following the release of his acclaimed studio album Forever Morning, Jeff returns with his first full-length live album, Live at the Bluebird—a raw, heartfelt document of a packed hometown show in Denver. Captured with just one rehearsal under their belt, the band—featuring Denver music veterans Dave Devine (gold-top Les Paul electric), Emma Rose (bass and harmonies), and Tyler Lindgren (drums, mixing, and mastering)—turned in a set that pulsed with grit, warmth, and connection. It was a night shared with local icons Megan Burtt and Hunter James, and one where the energy in the room met the music with equal force. The full set is now available on Spotify and YouTube, offering listeners a hit of that elusive live-record magic.

Live at the Bluebird arrives on the heels of Jeff’s most ambitious work to date, Forever Morning—a 16-track journey written and recorded entirely in Colorado over two years. Produced by Andrew Berlin (Gregory Alan Isakov) at the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Forever Morning began with no clear destination—just scattered sessions carved out over time. What emerged was a sweeping, three-part release that winds through mystical mountain passes, coastal catacombs, desert railroads, and the deep interior of the heart. It features an all-Colorado cast: Emma Rose (Sound of Honey), Max Barcelow (Gregory Alan Isakov), Charlie Rose (Elephant Revival), Dave Devine, Russick Smith and Eve Panning (Big Richard), and Jon Estes (Abigail Washburn), with Jeff on vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, piano, and even water bucket.

Before these back-to-back releases, Jeff gained national attention with The Shed Sessions video series and his debut record Northern 45, recorded in Nashville to analog tape with Grammy-winning players. Northern 45 features guest appearances from Sadler Vaden (Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit), Jeremy Fetzer (Steelism), Spencer Cullum Jr. (Miranda Lambert), and Molly Parden. His songwriting has twice earned him finalist honors at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival’s Troubadour Contest and coverage in PopMatters, Glide Magazine, and The Bluegrass Situation.

Jeff’s musical influences range from the ambient work of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois to the bare honesty of Townes Van Zandt, the live electricity of Live Rust, Stop Making Sense, and Live at Fillmore East, to the songwriting craft of Jason Isbell and Adrianne Lenker. He’s equally at home with a pen in hand as he is with a guitar—whether that’s at a sunny café, on a new singletrack trail, or in his Denver backyard where the Shed Sessions were born.

When not making music, Jeff is also a leading advocate in the clean energy movement, where he serves as a nonprofit executive focused on solar power and environmental solutions.
