Jeff Batson performs on Studio10

Jeff Batson is a Nashville-based singer/songwriter originally from the St. Louis suburb of Cahokia, Illinois. He developed a strong regional following playing the clubs around metropolitan St. Louis before relocating to Nashville in 1997. He has opened for artists such as Hank Williams, Jr., Keith Urban, Tracy Byrd, Collin Raye and Gary U.S. Bonds.

His firefighter tribute song,“Don’t Call Me a Hero,” has received acclaim from the firefighting community around the globe, and “That’s a Winner,” his tribute to late St. Louis Cardinal’s announcer Jack Buck, remains a St. Louis baseball fan favorite. Two of his songs, “Make a Wish” and “Hometown Heroes,” were released as singles by Laura Bryna on her Equity Records project, and both had accompanying videos. “Hometown Heroes” was used by the Air National Guard in a national promotion that included both television and radio commercials.
