About Jeremy
“...he's a talented songwriter, guitarist, singer and even plays harmonica... the one-man blues machine...”- Bear Bones Beer
"Jeremy's voice is golden...You've got to hear him!"--Susan Beane, Interim Director of Denmark Arts Center
"An exceptional talent." --Jonathon Sarty, Host of the Cold River Radio Show
Ever since he was 2 years old, Jeremy has had a guitar in hand. He began formal study of the instrument in high school and throughout college, instructed by noted guitarists Wayne Peabody, Keith Crook, Gary Wittner, and Mike Baggetta. Jeremy has had the pleasure to share the stage with many phenomenal musicians over his career, including guitarist John Pizzarelli and the folk-rock band, Carbon Leaf. To a greater extent, he has had the joy and great privilege to play music with the members of Junco for almost a decade. When he is not performing with Junco, Jeremy works as solo singer/songwriter and instrumental acoustic musician. Outside of his musical career, he is either in the classroom teaching students or out hiking, fly fishing, canoeing, or camping with is wife and their goldendoodle, Baxter. In his spare time he enjoys tying flies, reading, flannel shirts, and dark roast black coffee. He lives in the White Mountain Region of Western Maine.
