Geoff Muldaur is a founding member of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band of Cambridge, Massachusetts, a member of Paul Butterfield's Better Days, as well as an accomplished solo guitarist, singer, and songwriter.
Emerging from the Kweskin band with his then-wife, Maria Muldaur, Geoff established an impressive reputation in the Boston, Massachusetts area in the 1960s and 1970s, followed by a move to the burgeoning folk, blues and folk-rock explosion in Woodstock, New York. He recorded with such famous artists as Bonnie Raitt, Eric Von Schmidt, and Jerry Garcia before stopping to tour or record in the mid-1980s. During this period, he composed scores for film and television (including the title song for Terry Gilliam's film "Brazil"), winning an Emmy, and produced albums for lesser known musicians such as Lenny Pickett and the Borneo Horns and the Richard Greene String Quartet, emerging after 11 years in 1999 with the critically acclaimed album, The Secret Handshake. Geoff continues to record and tour the world.
