Jeremy Messersmith
is a Pop Musician based out of Minneapolis, MN. His first album, The Alcatraz Kid, quickly garnered the attention of the local media being named the "premiere under 30 songwriter in the Twin Cities" by City Pages (Village Voice). The Alcatraz Kid also received the attention of Performing Songwriter Magazine , a national publication which stated, " Remember the way you felt the first time you heard the amazing harmonies of Simon and Garfunkel? That subdued, magical sound lives once more on Jeremy Messersmith’s The Alcatraz Kid, but this time with a 21st-century twist. Messersmith lulls with his gentle voice and overdubbed harmonies, easing the shock of his sometimes-harsh lyrics.
Quirky? Certainly. Will you like it? No doubt."
Jeremy followed up with his sophomore album, The Silver City, Produced by Grammy Award Winner Dan Wilson of Semisonic and Trip Shakespeare fame. The slick production and magnificent sonic landscapes capture an extraordinary range of pop songs ranging from the electronically inspired hit, Miracles, to heart wrenching love songs like Love You To Pieces.
Jeremy has toured extensively in support of the album and played with the likes of Kaiser Cartel, Joan As Policewoman, Dan Wilson, Sondre Lerche, The Meat Puppets, Solid Gold, etc. The Silver City was additionally recognized by a press poll as the 2nd best album in the Twin Cities in 2008, losing out only to the rising star of hip hop act, Atmosphere. Messersmith has been featured on NPR, NPR's Car Talk, World Cafe Live on WXPN, MTV's The Real World, and Delta's Inflight Radio :)
