Geoffrey James Landon was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin in September 15th, 1975. (Birthplace of the guitar great Les Paul)
As
a child, music surrounded his home. Three generations of musicians, organists,
piano teachers, high school choir and band directors litter his family tree.
The eclectic mix of music in the
household forged a musical background from The Andrew Sisters to Pink Floyd
and John Mellencamp, and even to Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. In 1982,
his father bought Geoff his first guitar. And throughout the 1980s,
Geoff listened and prepared himself for a career in music, maybe not even
knowing it at first. His musical background became more diverse as styles
changed from the suburb grunge, to hip-hop to country s. Watching his Uncle
Marks rock band inthe early 90s gave Geoff a taste of bar and
honky-tonk playing, and only fueled his fire to perform even more.
Through it all, He graduated high school with band and choir honors, lettering
in three sports.
Then
came 1994 . . . Marine Corps . . . injuries would bring Geoff back home. Geoff
recalls the day he left, I saw this video, Dont Take The
Girl for the first time, and knew I was meant to be a
singer! , Geoff explains, Tim McGraw has been a major influence
in my choice of music. In 1997, Geoff began a series of stints in Nashville.
Performing in The Wildhorse Saloon, The Broken Spoke
Saloon and Writers Café, the World Famous Turf and
Wades Hall Of Fame Bar.Writing became more and more a part of his strength
in music. He learned his blue-collar approach from performers
many lower Broadway Ave. performers and Hit Nashville writers!
Geoff
cut a demo CD with ADG Nashville in 2000 called Clean Out Of Nashville.
In 2001, Geoff created a band to perform around Wisconsin. Since then, Geoff
