Recorded live with some of New Orleans' best. I love finding great players and letting them do their take on the songs. I believe it provides for a more organic & rich sound rather than having everyone reproduce the recordings. Find good people and let them do their thing! We wanted to capture that talent & uniqueness in a live session.

Rooted in the tradition of classic Americana & Folk storytelling with a tip of the hat to Blues & Southern Soul, Jeff Krause pairs lyric-forward songs with a guitar style that moves from dusty bar Blues to Acoustic coffee house strums.
Jeff’s writing is combined with a rotating cast of some of New Orleans' best players to create Brokedown Gramophone. Jeff Krause writes original songs that are all too relatable about the ins and outs of love with a common thread of the persevering spirit born from the highs and lows of life. Inspired by the lyric writing of greats such as Jason Isbell & John Prine and the grooves of Amos Lee & Ray LaMontagne.
