C. R. Avery is a unique, raw and dynamic performer. His genius lies in many genres – blues, hip-hop, spoken word and rock & roll. From musical beginnings in his late teens, he has recorded over 15 albums as well as writing and directing six hip-hop operas, which were mounted and performed from New York's Bowery to L.A.'s South Central. He has toured throughout Canada, the US and Europe (headlining or opening for Billy Bragg, Buck 65, and Leonard Cohen) and garnered the attention of music peers the likes of Tom Waits, blues harp trail blazer Charlie Musselwhite and folk legend Utah Phillip.

Jeff cultivated a multifaceted creative hub known for its restaurant, live music venue, studio and multimedia services. Evolving through the challenges of the music industry, Jeff credits his success to the "Great Creators" who helped bring his visions to life. His journey began with a love for music, sparked by a campfire jam session with friend Ridley Bent. Despite initial challenges learning guitar, Jeff combined his audio/video expertise to delve into recording and filming. Immersed in Vancouver's vibrant music scene, he honed his skills while collaborating with notable artists. This passion led to the establishment of Tractorgrease, evolving from a basement studio into a dynamic space for artistic expression. While the physical space is now closed, the Tractorgrease experience lives on as Jeff tours the countryside with his musical companions.

Jeff never travels alone! Expect a handful of other musicians to make their way to the stage.
