Jeff Pianki

A boy, sometimes even a man... but never a guy. "Pianki means bubbles or marshmallows in Polish. I'm one of those at least. I'm bubbly, right?" A capacity crowd at the Factory, an intimate Rochester, Michigan concert venue, chuckles in unison, and Jeff Pianki sheepishly grins. Ice broken. Time to sing. Jeff Pianki is a natural. Like Mickey Mantle was born to hit home runs and Carol Burnett was born to make us laugh, this Milford, Michigan based folk musician was born to entertain. His soulful, effortless vocals and folky, simple guitar and banjo riffs hush audiences of all ages. Currently self-recording his debut full-length album, Jeff combines his quiet wit, unassuming nature, and positive outlook with his god-given musical talent to create a formula that has made him one of Michigan's best kept secrets. While Jeff has kept a low profile for the most part in the new era of building careers via social networking websites, the one site that he has embraced has been YouTube, building a rabid following by posting hours and hours of unedited, raw live footage of himself performing a laundry list of originals, along with some great cover tracks.
