Jeremy Pinnell
Jeremy Pinnell grew up in Northern Kentucky just south of the Ohio River, where the towns are equal parts Southern hospitality, Northern attitude, and Midwestern charm. As a kid he sang in church and learned how to play the guitar with his dad, and as he got older he figured out he wasn’t just carrying a tune; he could really sing. When Jeremy sang, the room got quiet. Heads turned. At 18 he left home and began writing and singing country music. His voice made him a hometown hero but his demons kept him a secret to the world.
“OH/KY” tells the story of the next 18 years of Jeremy’s life, and it’s a damn good story. It has all the things people love to read about. And most of all, it’s a true story that’s been recorded in the most honest way possible. The album was cut live over the course of three days in a recording studio located in the small river town of Covington, KY. The group of players on the album are The 55s, a honky tonk band out of The Queen City who lay the foundation so Jeremy’s voice can shine and his story can come to life.
“One of my favorite new finds.” – Sean Moeller / DAYTROTTER
