About Jeff Varga

Cleveland-based Jeff Varga is an unassuming folk-styled, singer-songwriter and a 40-year veteran of the Cleveland music scene. He belongs to a seasoned class of artists who followed in the footsteps of the likes of James Taylor, Cat Stevens, and Paul Simon. Unlike the ramblings of suburbanite hipster-folksters who write about washboards they’ve never touched and moonshine they’ve never tasted, Varga’s music is dipped in a classic brand of folk that values emotional authenticity over populist style.

Varga started making music as an all-American, Beatle’s-loving 16-year-old, too young to play Cleveland clubs without a chaperone. After high school, he moved to New York City to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts as an actor and started playing open mics and coffee houses in the East Village. He then worked as a rhythm guitarist in various groups that toured the U.S. and Europe. Varga currently performs on Cleveland-area stages and multi-state tours. Among his accomplishments, he scored and performed the theme song for the award-winning short film “Burnt” and released the seven-song album Back Porch Songs (2012). Learn more at JeffVarga.com.
