Jeff German& The Blankety Blanks
Chick Photo For Music Link
Jeff German and
the Blankety Blanks could be called the working man’s band. Hailing from
Columbus, OH, this self-described Blue Collar, Classic Rock, singer songwriter
and “old man troubadour with a big kicking rock and roll band behind me” is touring
nationally in 2017.
Though the
subject of the music may not always be too serious, the band takes performing
very seriously. Expect a variety with hard rocking songs, intimate
ballads, acoustic solos and covers.
German has
toured with musicians such as Lydia Loveless and was a member of The Cur Dogs
before striking out on his own forming Jeff German and the Blankety
Blanks. As the band leader, German writes the lyrics and basic
arrangements for all the songs. Like many, German was influenced by
listening to his brother’s records as a kid – The Rolling Stones, The Clash,
and The Sex Pistols. “British punk bands from the ‘70s probably had more
to do with shaping me as a song writer,” says German. “And as I started
to grow and listening to Gram Parsons and Townes Van Zandt, that shaped me who
I am… this whatever Blue Collar Rocker or whatever they call me.” German
reflects that “whatever evokes that particular song, that’s what you get.”
