 With the eclectic concept album 'REFLECTIONS AT EVERY CORNER', veteran guitarist, musician, singer, songwriter Jeff Wyatt presents a clever mix of Blues, Pop, Rock, Folk, Jazz, Ethnic, World and Classical music influences in his original and unique acoustic and electric song stylings. You’ll hear interesting and imaginative guitar and piano instrumentals, as well as songs with a moody and thoughtful lyric content that is both personal and reflective. If you like piano, finger-style acoustic guitar, electric and slide guitar in both raw upbeat, and smooth laidback settings delivered along with deep, rich vocals,... you’ll enjoy this disc. The textures of the occasional orchestrated section add color and warmth for your ears, mind and emotions to become carried away with. Jeff has expressed that this album deals with his reflections of the woven memory-fabric of various people and events throughout his life.

Below are excerpts from the CD review by veteran music reviewer Tom Harrison posted in the Vancouver PROVINCE, March 18th, 2008:
“His guitar playing is attractive and soulful,... his singing... is not unlike Waylon Jennings..."
"His lyrics, too, have an honesty and sincerity that is appealing..."
"A song such as 'CORAE CORAE' makes you wonder how good an album he'd make if he concentrated on blues-rock."

Jeff, originally from the Saskatchewan prairies, has been involved with the Canadian west coast music scene (writing, recording and performing live) for almost 20 years, prior to his 20 year involvement with the Canadian prairie music scene. He also graduated from the 'Digital/Analog Automated Recording Arts' program at Columbia Academy in Vancouver, Canada in 1992, thereby honing and further developing his recording engineering skills.
His earliest solo recording project dates back to 1990 with the album 'FLIGHT OF THE HAWK', (recorded at Inner City Sound Studios in Regina with engineer Warren St Onge) which was a folksy, bluesy, rootsy compilation of original tunes presented in a simple, uncomplicated fashion.
In 1994 he produced a follow up solo CD entitled 'THE BULLFROG SESSION', (at Bullfrog Recording Studios in Vancouver with engineer Ian Tarasoff) which featured Jeff’s acoustic guitar playing skills as he further explored and expanded his acoustic guitar technique using slide and alternate tunings. The Bullfrog Session, also bluesy and rootsy, was recorded with Jeff performing on vocals and a single guitar only,…no additional instrumentation,… leaving it intimate, simple, clean, crisp and acoustically melodic.
In 2005 Jeff co-invented a musical duo with well known Vancouver songwriter Barry Greenfield, simply known as 'greenfield and wyatt' (subsequently shortened to 'greenfield wyatt'). Together they rehearsed, wrote, co-wrote, recorded and performed concerts to favorable reviews in and around Vancouver, Canada. Some of their live performances were fortunate enough to include various combinations of the talented musical hired guns Tom keenlyside (woodwinds), Jack Duncan (percussion), Gaye Delorme (guitar), Roge Belanger (percussion and vocals), Nick Apivor (percussion), Richard St Onge (cello and didgeridoo) and Ken Dahl (percussion and vocals). During the 20 month existence of their partnership Jeff and Barry wrote, co-wrote, arranged and recorded their collaborative album 'SONGS FROM THE ROTHSTEIN'. Veteran music reviewer Tom Harrison of the Vancouver PROVINCE favorably scrutinized the album and complimented Jeff's contribution by writing...
“Greenfield’s fourth and most atmospheric album thanks to Wyatt’s stately strings and fluid guitar…”.
