JIM BRUNBERG  (Vocals, Guitars, Pedal Steel, etc)

Jim has been playing music since he picked up his father's banjo when he was eight years old. It wasn't until his post-college/slacker funk days that he started writing songs. Shortly after moving to San Francisco in 1989, Jim was playing the local coffeehouses and was spotted by Jeff Pehrson. They started playing together as a duo, and formed the full band two years later in 1993. Jim writes songs and plays things with strings and then some. Hobbies: listening to Willie Nelson, hunting for old 78's, bowling, calling shotgun, sniffing leaves.

 

JEFF PEHRSON (Vocals, acoustic guitar)

Jeff is a Bay Area native, born in the Haight\Ashbury District and raised, across the Bay Bridge, in San Leandro. He wrote his first song at 8, a rip-off of C.W. McCall's "Convoy", and found himself jonesing for a life of truck stop food, broken promises and the occasional musical performance. After a long (and highly unsuccessful) stint at San Francisco State University, several garage bands and one pre-written improvisation troupe, Jeff met Jim at Simple Pleasures Coffee shop and Box Set was born.
