Career


Golub was born in Copley Township, Ohio, near Akron.[1] He grew up listening to pop music, rock, blues, funk, and R&B. In the 1970s, he attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston. 1980, he moved to New York city, and worked for rock guitarist Billy Squier. During the 1980s and '90s, he worked as a sideman for Ashford & Simpson, Tina Turner, John Waite, Dar Williams, Vanessa Williams, and Peter Wolf. 1988–95, he recorded and toured with Rod Stewart.[2]

He was a member of Dave Koz and the Kozmos, the house band of The Emeril Lagasse Show.[3]

In 1988, Golub released his first solo album Unspoken Words; in 1994, he formed the band Avenue Blue, and the group released its first album Avenue Blue Featuring Jeff Golub. For the album Out of the Blue (Atlantic, 1999), he dropped the Avenue Blue prefix and recorded simply as Jeff Golub. He recorded a blues album with Billy Squier, Peter Wolf, and John Waite, and an album with blind jazz pianist Henry Butler in 2011.[2]


Illness


In 2011, Golub lost his eyesight from pressure on his optic nerve. In September 2012, he fell on the tracks of a subway, but was saved by people nearby. He was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.[2][4][5][6] Soon after, he released the album Train Keeps A Rolling with keyboardist Brian Auger.[2]

In 2014, he was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy. In the spring of 2015, he died from the disease, a few months before his 60th birthday.[2][5][7]
