Born and raised in Arkansas my musical adventure started after my first rock concert at the age of 14. That week my friend who went to the show with me sold me his guitar so we could start a band. Up to that point my mother had tried to get my interested in guitar by showing me a few chords here and there but it wasn’t until after that concert I realized… I was destined to be a rockstar!
I started taking some lessons but after a few short months the teacher told my mother that I didn’t need a teacher anymore and it was a waste of money…so I taught myself from then on. I watched everybody I could and at night I would listen to my favorite music and try to figure out the leads. I didn’t have a social life because music consumed all my time. I would continue playing in several small bands for years and eventually joined a band that gave me the opportunity to open for a national act called Every Mother’s Nightmare. After playing that show the singer for the band asked me to become their guitarist and I gladly accepted. I played with EMN for about 13 years and I grew up quickly as a musician.
Recording 4 albums, 3 tributes’ and selling CD’s all over the world. I shared the stage, tour buses and collaborated with some of the biggest rockstars in the business. It was a learning lesson for what was ahead. Preparing me for bigger things!
Eventually it was time to pursue other projects and I ended up joining a band that was hired for two weeks to backup Jasmine Cain. I knew that’s who I wanted to play with and eventually jumped on board with her. I’ve been with Jasmine Cain since 2006 touring and writing. This is the best band I’ve ever been a part of and it’s only getting better.
Jasmine's word on Jeffery Caughron:
When I met Jeff, I had no idea he was as talented as he was, nor was I aware of the success he has had with his previous band, Every Mother’s Nightmare. Jeff has always been so down-to-earth and easy going. Jeff’s biggest contribution to this band, besides his stage presence and calm country-boy attitude, is that we have become a killer writing team. I have attempted to write with several co-writers and very rarely do you find one that you connect with that easily. Jeff and I have written several songs together, many of which ended up on our album, “Locks and Keys”. With this project, Jeff was completely in control of the guitar parts for this album which is something he had never really had the opportunity to control. It was a growing experience for us both musically and professionally and it was obvious to us from the very first time we met each other that we would be working together and we will continue to turn out killer guitar riff oriented rockin’ songs for years to come. He is a vital piece of the puzzle.
