Jeremy Squires

What to say about someone as talented as this man.... 

This talented singer songwriter, husband and father of two is from New Burn, NC his music although has a slight twang, is not a country sound. Jeremy's music is more of an Americana sound, slightly folk. You can hear the feeling behind the lyrics when he sings, like every word is from the heart. The lyrics are darker, more melancholy in feeling, each word sung with conviction though. 

Jeremy has released two albums. The first record "A Place to Hide" was released in January of 2012 and his second "In The Dark" was released in May of 2012... Two full length albums in one year is impressive. Both albums were recorded and mixed by Squires himself. Jeremy appears to be working on a new album, no word when it will be released, keep your eye out for it though, at the rate this man is going, it may be out this year. That would be a record for an unsigned artist right?! =]

JNS Rocks Deland

I know its a late, but here are a few pictures that I took at Delandapalooza of my favorite local band Jimbo and the No Shows.


They played two sets in downtown Deland, one at Redzone Sports bar and the other set outside of City Hall.

There was a great turn out of all ages and the crowd was really into the music, I encourage you to check them out on facebook and reverbnation.

Jimbo and the No Shows!

Local music: Something I love and support. So I figured why not do a blog post about a local band that it awesome and that I am very close to. My best friend James or Jimbo (depending on where you know him from) is the lead singer and founder of the band Jimbo and the No Shows (JNS)

The band has somewhat of a unique sound, that I can only describe as Indie, Southern rock... sounds weird I know. But just give them a listen!

The refreshing thing about this band is that they write their own music, Jimbo does most of the writing. The lyrics are very passionate and heartfelt. The bands stage presence is excellent and you can't help but enjoy watching them play and getting into the music right along with them. The favorite thing of the band is to play their original music as opposed to cover songs, which the cover songs most people play have been way over done anyways. You can definitely tell by the quality of the music that they are all very talented musicians. James alone has an incredibly long list of accomplishments, several years ago he started a band with Jason Michael Carroll, who is now a popular country artist. Just give JNS a listen and you will see why this band is so popular around here.

JNS is very active as far as playing shows, multiple shows a month, and tomorrow I am actually going with the band to a big music festival in Deland called DELANDAPALOOZA MUSIC FESTIVAL, if you are in the area you should come and check it out! It will be a great time. I will be doing some photography for the band so pictures to come on that.

I challenge you all to not only listen to the quality of music but also listen to the lyrics.

Enjoy!
