If you are from Texas or Missouri you have hopefully heard of Jeff Wood , a singer/ song writer.The first time I heard him sing was in Fredricksburg, TX over a bottle of wine shared with friends and boyfriend (my husband now). At the time my thoughts were " wow he sings well, wonder if he knows some Johnny Cash" ;which by the way he does! Anyhow, my boyfriend/ husband (now) bought his CDs and we became quick fans. You could probably call us groupies. Jeff has played our engagement, wedding & one year anniversary. See I told you... groupies!

Little did I know that he was much more than " the guy with the guitar" playing "Brown Eyed Girl" for the 478798753453th time.Yes he does awesome covers and writes incredible songs. But for someone who is so talented he talks way more about Shelby (8) & Gabe (6), his kids, than anything else. For me personally I didn't just become a fan because hes a great musician I became a fan also because of how awesome of a Dad he is. He beams with pride when talking about them. How many musicians can you say that about?

He even spotlights Shelby and Gabe on his youtube channel & his facebook. I love that he involves them in his work and sparks creativity that they probably wouldn't get if it wasn't for him. In a world that children are getting iPhones, XBOXes & iPads for birthdays and Christmas its nice to see families bonding creatively. Everyday is "bring your child to work day". What a cool life, he gets to play music for a living and have fun with his kids. They create some some entertaining youtube videos. When you watch his videos you want to laugh and cry all at the same time. You can tell the kids love it and have a great time making them. A pretty awesome side note is that his song Where Greatness Begins is the song I walked down the aisle to, well it turns out that it was written for his kids. They inspire his work and that's just amazing.
