Jeffrey Thoralf Heisholt (born July 28, 1975) is a Canadian keyboardist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer. In 1996 he formed Burt Neilson Band, with whom he co-wrote and released four records. The band toured Canada twenty times, played more than 1000 shows and became a staple of the Canadian jamband community.[1] Since 2004, he has played across the country with soul-rocker Peter Elkas[2] and contributed to Elkas's second album, the Charlie Sexton produced Wall of Fire. In early 2008, Heisholt joined the touring line-up of Canadian rock band The Trews[3] and has been a part of their live and studio configuration since then.
