With the passing of Hall of Fame legend Glen Campbell, and years of memories with Glen, Jeff has put together this show to honor him and share the stories and songs of his career with Campbell. This truly is an amazing show as Jeff Dayton actually performed and sang these songs for many years with the legend. Tickets are required for this show and range from $30 -$50 depending on seating.
From the White House to the Grand Ole Opry, Jeff has been playing guitar and performing all his life. He’s a Nashville producer and writer and loves the concentrated creative scene in Music City..
Jeff’s first guitar was at age 9 and he immediately formed his first band, The Emperors. From there, it was local clubs and concerts, paying his dues and working with musicians who became sidemen for Prince and Bob Dylan.
He moved to Arizona, got his first Nashville song contracts and put together one of the most popular and acclaimed bands in the Phoenix music scene over his 20 years there. One fateful chance encounter with Glen Campbell led to his longtime tenure on that tour and set the stage for his move to Nashville in 2000.
He also found time to land his music degree, regional #1 hit records and the honor of backing artists including Vince Gill, Willie Nelson, Toby Keith, Buck Owens, Tracy Byrd, Bo Diddley, Dizzy Gillespie, Gene Autry, Mac Davis and many more.
Once arriving in Nashville, Jeff focused on writing and producing, but because of his reputation and guitar skills, was soon touring with megastar Kenny Chesney, Lee Greenwood, Sarah Darling, Tammy Cochran and others.
Jeff recently released ~ The Glen Connection ~ new recordings of Glen Campbell hits and original songs that reflect the influence Glen had on Jeff’s writing will be available at the show.
