Jeff Baron is a lyricist. At Northwestern
University he worked with a variety of
composers, most notably Franni Burke,
Michael Mark and Bob Dahlin. Jeff's
songs were frequently performed both on
campus and in shows in and around Chicago.
His cable series The Jeff Baron Show
featured an original song in each episode.
He and Franni Burke wrote two songs
featured in his award-winning film The
Bruce Diet, including "Ooh, My Pants are
Tight".
Jeff had a fruitful collaboration with
composer Dean X Johnson, which included
songs performed at Carnegie Hall and
concert halls around the U.S. Their one act
opera, Song of Martina, about the life of
tennis great Martina Navratilova, debuted at
Carnegie Hall, with subsequent
performances at Merkin Hall and a theatrical
run in Los Angeles. Jeff and Dean were in
the midst of writing an original musical when
Dean X Johnson passed away.
Jeff was commissioned by the Los Angeles
Opera to write the libretto for an original
one act opera, which is called Escape.
Jeff is currently at work on a full length
musical show.
