2010 OUT & ABOUT 500: MUSIC

Music Stars: Dean and Jeff Lofton

Dean&JeffLofton.jpg
Austin has elaborated a long jazz history. Yet this South Carolina couple recently gave the scene a jumpstart with their ubiquitous presence and articulate advocacy. A writer, Dean doubles as publicist. A trumpeter, Jeff also leads various musical projects. They help other artists through Jeff Lofton Quartet, Jeff Lofton Electric Thang, Crime Victims First, Dean Lofton PR and Writing Your Life as a Woman.

I have known the Lofton's for many many years and their commitment to each other, music and helping other people has always inspired me. I love Jeff's music and Dean is a wonderful teacher and writer.
