Geoff Muldaur (born August 12, 1943, Pelham, New York[1][2][3]) is a founding member of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band of Cambridge, Massachusetts, a member of Paul Butterfield's Better Days, and an accomplished solo guitarist, singer, and songwriter.

Emerging from the Kweskin band with his then-wife, Maria Muldaur, he established an impressive reputation in the Boston, Massachusetts area in the 1960s and 1970s, followed by a move to the burgeoning folk, blues and folk-rock explosion in Woodstock, New York. He separated from his wife in 1972. He recorded with such as Bonnie Raitt, Eric Von Schmidt, and Jerry Garcia before stopping to tour or record in the mid 1980s. During this period, he composed scores for film and television, winning an Emmy Award, and produced albums for lesser known musicians such as Lenny Pickett and the Borneo Horns and the Richard Greene String Quartet. In 1985, he performed a cover of Ary Barroso's Aquarela do Brasil specifically as the signature tune of Terry Gilliam's dystopian satire cult film Brazil. After he had not made any release for eleven years, Muldaur emerged in 1999 with the critically acclaimed album, The Secret Handshake.
In 2009, Muldaur formed a roots super-group for work on a new album. Dubbing themselves Geoff Muldaur And The Texas Sheiks, folk and American music luminary Stephen Bruton, Grammy-winning Dobro player Cindy Cashdollar, fiddle virtuoso Suzy Thompson, guitarist Johnny Nicholas and bassist Bruce Hughes joined Muldaur in the studio for a pair recording sessions in 2008. Bruton died in May 2009, but the music lives on in an album that was released on September 22, 2009, on the Tradition & Moderne label.
His sister is the actress Diana Muldaur (L.A. Law, McCloud and Star Trek: The Next Generation). His daughters, Jenni Muldaur and Clare, are also singer-songwriters.
