Artist Profiles:

Judi Jaeger (Jay-ger) and Bob Reid found that perfect harmony standing next to each other at a music jam in 2015. Their musical spark quickly caught fire and was noticed by those around them - and so the successful collaboration between Jaeger & Reid was born. 

Judi grew up near Montreal, Canada, where her world was filled with music; her mother and brother sang and played guitar and she listened to Leonard Cohen, Peter, Paul & Mary, Pete Seeger and many others. She began her career as a performing songwriter as an expression of her loss after the death of her mother and has written songs for her local domestic violence prevention organization.

Bob is a fourth generation Californian, and like Judi, Bob also grew up surrounded by music. Bob's Mom performed in coffeehouses in the 1960's, while his father was a gospel concert promoter. His mom, Betty Reid Soskin, is best known now as having been the nation’s oldest National Park Service Ranger. Bob has been a California Arts Council Artist-in-the-Schools, performed in concert at the United Nations in New York, at festivals and in schools across the United States.

Bob's original songs have been sung by Pete Seeger, Bill Harley, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer and many others. Bob was chosen by the Seeger family to perform at memorial concerts for both Pete and Toshi Seeger in New York. Bob has a keen eye for musicality, empowerment, appreciation of nature and social causes in his writing.
