  • View Geff's Resume
    Geffery B. Stewart 1347 Gorsuch Ave Baltimore, Maryland 21218 443.454.1875 [email protected] Summary/Bio My name is Geffery Stewart. I was born in 1985 in Baltimore, MD. I was raised in Pasadena, MD where I attended public school. I am a self taught musician specializing in string instruments, mainly guitar, banjo, violin/fiddle, and mandolin. With the influence of my parents, I came obsessed with music of all kinds at a very young age. In my elementary school years, I discovered I had a keen ear and began singing along with music I heard at home and in church. At age 10, I began teaching myself guitar, with tuning and some chording assistance from my father. I was soon able to tune by ear. I worked hard at my 3 first chords, and played incessantly. More musical influence from my father began to influence my direction, and obsession such as Experimental, Jazz, Punk Rock, Reggae, Folk, Bluegrass, Hip Hop and more, but it was the Blues that grabbed my attention. My life was altered after hearing the Blues/Gospel of Blind Willie Johnson. Country blues and pre-war American music became a full time passion around age 15. The other pivotal musical experience was hearing John Coltrane at some point in Middle School. This opened my ears and mind to the possibilities of improvisation. At this time I was attempting to translate some of these concepts that I was hearing in country blues, punk, and jazz onto electric guitar. I was trying to comprehend using alternate tunings, using a slide, and eventually alternating bass fingerpicking from various American Folk Music.

This was a year of “ups” and a very notable “down” for the Downtown Columbia Arts and Culture Commission. The year’s low point came at the beginning—January 13th, when the iconic roof of Merriweather Post Pavilion collapsed while being raised as part of the venue’s ongoing renovation project. This was unexpected, to say the least, but we were incredibly fortunate that there were no injuries and little ancillary damage to the property as a result of this accident. Thanks to the dedicated team at Merriweather and with our contractor, Costello Construction of Maryland, the roof was rebuilt in time for the season to start. The show must go on, and it did. As owners of this iconic amphitheater since 2016, the Downtown Columbia Arts and Culture Commission has developed expertise and partnerships to overcome the challenges big and small that arise. The roof collapse tested us, but now, nearly a year later, we see this test in the same way that we see others: As a reminder that our work as stewards of Merriweather Post Pavilion must be our main priority.
