Geoff Muldaur (born August 12, 1943)[1] is an American active singer, guitarist and composer, who was a founding member of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band and a member of Paul Butterfield's Better Days.
Having established a reputation with the Kweskin Jug Band during the 1960s, Geoff and his then wife Maria Muldaur recorded their first album, Pottery Pie, for Warner Bros. Records in 1968.[2] this album contained his version of "Brazil" ("Aquarela do Brasil"), which became the theme for the film Brazil (1985) directed by Terry Gilliam.[3] After recording the album, the Muldaurs moved to Woodstock, New York.[1] They separated in 1972, shortly after Geoff Muldaur joined Paul Butterfield's Better Days band.
He married Maria D’Amato in 1964. They had a daughter on March 29, 1964, Jenni Muldaur, who is also a musician.[6][7] After the Kweskin group broke up, the couple produced two albums. Maria began her solo career when their marriage ended in 1972 and retained her married name.[8]
His sister is actress Diana Muldaur. His daughters Jenni and Clare are also musicians.
