Jeff Tamelier has done it all, or so it seems to those among us who follow his career in amazement. While spending nine years as lead guitarist for the legendary Tower of Power, Jeff found time to serve as Stephen 'Doc' Kupka's musical director and co-producer for Strokeland Records projects, including the Strokeland Superband.
Jeff learned the fundamentals of playing guitar at age 9 from blind teacher and mentor, Jim Phillips, aka "Blindgym," joining his first band at age 11. In 1985, Jeff joined 'Lydia Pense and Cold Blood,' another popular East Bay band from Bill Graham's San Francisco label. In 1991, Jeff joined with Mickey Thomas and 'Starship' and toured worldwide.
In 1999, Jeff released his dynamic solo release, "Strat Got Yo' Tongue", which showcases his writing, producing, and guitar-playing skills.
Jeff has produced artists from all walks of life, including Alternative, Country, Funk, Hip-Hop, R&B, Smooth Jazz, and Techno. Today, as President of House of Hansen Productions, LLC, Jeff is building the #1 destination website for online music collaboration and podcasting, operating as NetMusicMakers.com.
Jeff is responsible for running all aspects of Net Music Makers. An established artist, musician, producer, and music educator, prior to joining House of Hansen Productions, LLC, Jeff toured as lead guitarist for Tower of Power, endorsing a number of cutting-edge companies, like Dunlop, Fender, and Monster Cable.
As Jeff writes, "Net Music Makers.com is the first-of-its-kind website, dedicated to creating a 360-degree music experience for novice, intermediate, professional, and recreational players. After 20 years on the road, I'm now leading a team of talented web 2.0 developers, musicians, radio personalities-turned-podcasters, and some of the world's most sought-after session artists."
"Our goal is simple: to help you learn, rehearse, jam, record, mix, and make your original tunes available for 24/7 podcast. Essentially, our objective is to blow your mind, allowing you to 'Frankenstein' your music, record it, and podcast it. We all know that the music industry has changed forever and Net Music Makers.com will help change it a little more."
Currently, Jeff is hard at work producing the NEXT Strokeland Superband project, Doc Kupka Presents "Bumped Up to First Class"! Stay tuned for updates on this project that you will NOT want to miss.
