Jeffrey Thoralf Heisholt (born July 28, 1975) is a Canadian keyboardist, vocalist, composer, broadcaster, and producer. In 1996 he formed Burt Neilson Band, with whom he co-wrote and released four records. The band toured Canada twenty times, played more than 1000 shows and became a staple of the Canadian jamband community.^[1] Since 2004, he has played across the country with soul-rocker Peter Elkas^[2] and contributed to Elkas's second album, the Charlie Sexton produced Wall of Fire. In early 2008, Heisholt joined the touring line-up of Canadian rock band The Trews^[3] and has been a part of their live and studio configuration since then.

In 2012, Jeff joined Toronto trio Little Foot Long Foot, writing and producing their 2013 single "Bridge Concerns". In 2013, Jeff also joined the touring lineup of Canadian roots-rock veterans, Skydiggers. Jeff played keys and recorded with Hamilton's Terra Lightfoot from 2015 to 2017.

Heisholt formed Current Fantasy in early 2019, a solo, largely improvised electronic project. He also has hosted a radio show of the same name since early 2020, airing weekly on multiple university radio stations across Canada.

Jeff's mother, Donna Heisholt, is a well known Thunder Bay-based visual artist.^[4]
