Its a blend of acoustic guitars and story telling. I use music to convey a moment or emotion that I hope to get across and make it mean something to the listene
Born in Halifax Nova Scotia, Geoff started off young as a musician. By the age of 8 he was beginning guitar lessons, but it wasn't until middle school when he began to evolve into a songwriter. Dabbling in numerous bands, it was difficult to find a fit that suited. To truly begin finding his voice, Geoff began honing his skills on the streets, performing as a street busker for the downtown crowd on weekends. This was the place where he learned his trade. "It's incredibly valuable time spent on the streets performing. On a stage, the audience has a physical and mental separation from you, you are perceived by them in a different way, even on the okay songs they still clap when it's over. Outside of the bar, on the street corner, they seem to rarely clap and walk by telling you to get a job. And I even HAD a job!" Over 13 years of busking experience goes a long way, and with a keen eye for what a crowd will respond to, and a strong, attention catching voice, Geoff began the open mic scene with ferocity. If there was a bar downtown that was offering him 15 minutes, Geoff was there to practice. With a healthy mix of covers and originals, he began to network his way into a new role. As his originals repertoire grew, the time came to begin recording. With little or no funding, he began recording at home. Through the flood of the Internet, Geoff has had listeners all the way from Australia and Belgium respond resoundingly to his craft, constantly on the pulse of a CD release date. Through the help and support of his family, friends, that is becoming a reality.

Lyrics
He shows up in her doorway He gives her back her key, and he says "Do I have any clothes here?" "Is there anything that belongs to me?" She puts the key on the counter And she walks down the landing And through bleary-eyed smiles She hands him his things And then he said, "If you'd have said jump I'd have said, how high, If you'd have said jump I'd have said, how high, So he takes all his memories Buries 'em deep in his pocket But there's a hole at the bottom, and he says, "Is there nothing we can do to stop this?" He puts his hat on backwards And he looks deep in her eyes And with a kiss on her forehead He tells her goodbye And then she said, "If you say jump I will say, how high, If you say jump Well I would've said, Well baby, Don't push me cuz I just might" If you say jump I will say how high And if you say jump Well i would've said, Well baby Don't push me cuz i just might...
