Description
Jeff Goehring was born into a musical Missouri family in 1957 and raised near Columbus, Ohio. As a teenager his fiddling was greatly influenced by Ward Jarvis (FRC401), whom Jeff often visited in southern Ohio. Jeff also sought out and learned from a number of other Ohio fiddlers, and from both young and old musicians of Missouri, Round Peak and elsewhere (documented on FRC402, 403, 404, 405, and 406). By the early 1980s Jeff, wife Sue and brother Rick were the musical core of the Red Mule String Band. In various band permutations and as a tightly-knit trio, the Mules continued to perform until shortly before Jeff’s death in 2001. – Lynn Frederick
