His Story
A life spent singing people into the room
Jeff Moyer is a blind singer-songwriter whose life’s work began with his younger brother — institutionalized as a child with a severe cognitive disability at a time when America hid its disabled citizens away. Jeff answered with songs: songs that named the injustice, honored the excluded, and insisted that everyone belongs.
His music became the soundtrack of a civil rights movement. He sang for the protestors of the 1977 Section 504 demonstrations. His “ADA Anthem” was performed at the US Senate reception the day the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed in 1990. For fifty years he has performed at demonstrations, hearings, and celebrations wherever the movement needed a voice.
His generosity is not confined to the stage. In 2010, Jeff donated a kidney to save the life of his friend’s daughter — and wrote “Selected,” a song about answering that call. He has given away 1,500 albums to hospice families, and his songs for children have taught a generation of classrooms what inclusion sounds like.
Today Jeff leads the Jeff Moyer Trio and continues to write, record, and perform — because the work of belonging is never finished.
