Jeff Donaldson of Stratford, Oklahoma started his music career as a boy playing the bass guitar in church, participating in fiddle contests and entertaining his family and friends around a campfire with the mandolin. After honing his skills to become a professional, he had the privilege of playing with country music stars like Vince Gill, Blake Shelton, Tye England, Lefty Frizzel, Jami Smith and many more. His list of recording credits is extensive and ongoing. As a regular in the house band at the Oklahoma Opry, he played the fiddle and bass guitar.

Desiring to return to his roots, Jeff began a career in the ministry six years ago, which has led him to the position of Worship Pastor at New Beginnings Church, where he leads with electric and acoustic guitar. Along with his music duties, Jeff and his wife of 22 years pastor a lively youth group, which includes their two sons.
