Baritone JEFFREY THORSEN will mark his 15th season with The Caroling Company in 2009. His eclectic career began in 1981 as member of The Serendipity Singers ("Crooked Little Man", "Beans In My Ears"). After two years of touring and a season of TV appearances on the USA Network Jeff landed in Los Angeles doing voice-overs and working behind the cameras on HBO's "Not Necessarily The News".

Jeff left the road for good after fronting The New Seekers in 1986 to concentrate on his television career, eventually emerging as an award-winning producer of variety programming. He has worked with comedians such as Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Maher, Dennis Miller, Paul Rodriguez and Drew Carey, and was involved with eight "Comic Relief" specials featuring Billy Crystal, Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg. He has also produced music specials with Whitney Houston and N*Sync, and won a primetime Emmy Award in 2002 for producing a concert version of "Sweeney Todd" at the San Francisco Symphony for PBS.

Between caroling seasons, Jeff keeps his voice in shape appearing in local theatrical productions and taking the occasional casual gig, and there are rumors that an upcoming recording featuring original songs of several styles may be in the planning stages.
