Jeffrey Arevalo was born in Cincinnati, Ohio into a musical household where both his father and brother played. Surrounded by music in his youth he developed a keen ear for rock, blues, Americana, and jazz before picking up the guitar at age 8. A good student and a decent athlete, Arevalo tried his hand at many hobbies before picking up the washboard at age 14 to join his father and brother on stage. Upon moving to Sarasota, Florida in 1996 his family built a professional recording studio where he would learn to be a session musician, assistant engineer, and then studio manager. He studied traditional percussion and rhythms on the congas at age 15 before getting his first drumset. After a couple lessons Arevalo started performing live and began playing drums professionally almost every night in many different groups and styles. In 2009, he received a performance scholarship to Berklee College of Music where he studied until graduation in 2013. While at Berklee, Arevalo taught himself bass and put a few national tours under his belt. He is currently on tour with Goose on percussion and drums and just finished a tour with his band Orebolo on acoustic bass.
