Jeffrey Rosenberg is a guitarist/vocalist/drummer who has been in a number of bands in Los Angeles, CA, Brooklyn, NY, San Francisco, CA, and Providence, RI. These bands have ranged from soft anthemic folk (Lavender Diamond) to other less touchy-feely creatures: noisy, bombastic rock (Pink and Brown) to experimental art-pop (Young People) to instrumental soundscapes (Tarentel, Lumen, solo music). Rosenberg's presence in all projects has always been understated but essential like a Silent Bob of sorts.Fact|date=February 2008 John Dwyer and Rosenberg played in a few different projects together from 1996 through 2003, including Tar-Aiym Krang (featuring Brian Gibson of Lightning Bolt). Rosenberg and Dwyer were both original members of and contributors to the Fort Thunder art and music scene in Providence in the late 1990s.

Rosenberg left Lavender Diamond in April 2007 and is currently creating solo music under his own name Jeffrey Rosenberg.
