Performing: "Just Give Me What You Think Is Fair"

Jeff Simon started performing at the early age of 10, along with his sister, Jolene, on a local television show which was televised weekly from WEMT-TV Channel 7 (now WVII-TV) studios in Bangor, Maine. He and his sister, Jolene, performed regularly on "Frankensteins's Country Jamboree", which in later years became "Stacey's Country Jamboree". While being featured performers on Stacey's Country Jamboree, Jeff and Jolene made frequent appearances throughout Canada with the cast of the TV show. Jeff's dad was also a part of the musical talent on Stacey's Country Jamboree as well. Jeff and his sister also made occasional appearances on The Curly O'Brien Show.
During his latter years of high school, Jeff's interest in music influenced him to start his own band, The Mainely Country Band. In 1979, Jeff recorded his first album, "Journey Through The Country", with liner notes written by Maine's own, Dick Curless. Later, in 1988, Jeff recorded another album with Bob Fillion, titled "From Us To You", which won first place honors in 1989 by one of Maine's premier country music organizations, The Down East Country Music Association In 1992, Jeff and his band were the house band for several tapings of The National Country Music Jamboree, taped in Ellsworth and Cherryfield, Maine and was televised weekly throughout North America via satellite.
Some of Jeff's musical influences were Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Ricky Skaggs, Waylon Jennings, and Buck Owens.
Jeff, along with the band, has received numerous awards throughout the years from the Down East Country Music Association, Maine Country Music Association , Pine Tree State Country Music Association and the Tennessee based international country music organization, North America Country Music Associations International
