Jeff started playing bass at the age of 14 and studied under Ray Lessard at Darren's Music Center in Derry, New Hampshire. At just 17, for his sight-reading ability, Jeff was hired to play bass guitar for the Town & Country Playhouse in Salem, New Hampshire, a summer stock theater with actors from New York City. Productions included Jesus Christ Superstar, Fiddler on The Roof, and Nunsense. He toured with Up with People (Cast C 88) shortly after high school. During this time, he developed his skills playing for large audiences, over 7,000 people in some venues, and continued to progress as a solid bassist. Jeff entered the Bass Guitar Performance program at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA in the fall 1989. He made the Dean's List and achieved ratings for ensemble playing in his second semester. Jeff also took additional courses in audio engineering, MIDI concepts and arranging. Jeff started attending New Hampshire Bass Fest as a student and was once again connected with bass instructors from Berklee, including the proprietor of Bass Fest, Jim Stinnett. This new opportunity found Jeff taking classes and spending quality time with the likes of Michael Manring, Todd Johnson, Bruce Gertz, Joe Hunt, Celso Pixinga and many others. Jeff teaches bass guitar and has been filling in on bass for over 10 bands in the New England area.

He's famous around the entire neighborhood for his mastery of guitar, synthesizer, and singing. But who is the man behind the music? Born in 1847, Nikolas Trismegistus Farr had very little musical experience before joining Neon Wave. He was briefly part of a ragtag group of performers on the streets of New Orleans, from whom he learned the mysteries of the tenor banjo. After falling into a wormhole, Nik was transported through time to the year 2022, where he was immediately horrified by modern music. Fearing that he would never play an instrument again, it was not until he heard the sound of 1980s New Wave that he found his true calling. As luck would have it, Nik met drummer Rod in Manchester, UK's famed dance club Muchacho. The two became fast friends, and Rod invited him to join Neon Wave. Nik quickly proved adept at making a real racket on the guitar, and he isn't a half-bad singer. (Although that means he also is a half-bad singer. That's just math.) Nik has also played and sung in various other bands, including the original groups such as the Solipstics, Kenny Arnold & the Sightings, and DIVVISIONS.
