Deluge


Deluge is a collaboration of jazz guitarists Jeff Rodrigues (London) and Tobias Rupp (Cologne).

As well as being regularly invited to perform at venues and festivals throughout the UK, he has also performed in Canada, Portugal, Spain and Italy. Jeff studied guitar in his native Canada and holds both a BMus and FRSM in Guitar Performance.
Tobias Rupp is a composer, performer and guitar teacher, and holds a Masters degree in Jazz Guitar. He studied with world-class guitarists Ben Monder and Wolfgang Muthspiel in New York.
