Jeff
(Lead Guitar, Vocals)

Jeff Wong (guitars, vocals) is the offspring of a mother who was a pianist who studied at the Juilliard School of Music and a father who is as tone deaf as they come. Jeff puts his musical talents somewhere between the two. Major influences include Steve Howe (Yes), Rick Witkowski (Crack the Sky), Buck Dharma (Blue Oyster Cult), and more recently Britney Spears. Jeff has been playing music on and off professionally for over 25 years. Throughout college and grad school he performed as a solo act playing guitar and keyboards and singing in some of the finer restaurants and seedier bars in North Carolina and Maryland. The lucrative business earned him enough cold cash to finance possibly as much as 3 percent of his college education at times. During the late 80’s and early nineties Jeff hooked up with a number of classic rock acts which enjoyed moderate to no success at all playing the Baltimore area. Eventually, he and bassist band mate Paul Ely broke off and formed the rock duo Wong and Ely which managed steady bookings in restaurants and clubs in Ellicott City, Fells Point, Towson, and Edgewood for several years until recently taking an extended break.

 Jeff comes to Beyond Logic after casual conversations with keyboardist Paul Minch (whom he has known since high school and played music with briefly in the past) somehow resulted in a place for him in the band’s lineup.

 Jeff says: “I am seriously excited to be a part of Beyond Logic. I’ve been in a lot of different acts, but this one easily has the most diverse set of talents I’ve had the pleasure of playing with. Everyone has different musical influences and backgrounds, yet somehow we are able to put them all together in a seamless blend. More importantly, I think we all genuinely like each other!”
