"New York strummer Jeremiah Birnbaum brings a hint of soul to the world of folk. His strong vocals and evocative piano flourishes recall a young Van Morrison or an upbeat Mark Kozelek. Birnbaum has reinvigorated the singer-songwriter tradition." -Download.com Lauded for his “intelligent, poetic lyrics” and “scrumptious, soul-filled EP Dawn” (Cincinnati City Beat), New York's Jeremiah Birnbaum Jeremiah Birnbaum has emerged as a powerful and engaging performer, captivating crowds at notable venues from coast-to-coast and receiving praise from many sources, including Download.com, Indianapolis' NuvoWeekly and InSite, and Chuck Eddy, Music Editor of the Village Voice. Radio play includes LA’s iRADIO 88.5, Brooklyn’s RadioCrystalBlue.com and HarrisRadio.com, Denmark’s Radio Holstebro 97.4, and London’s Resonance 104.4. Jeremiah is a 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 ASCAPLUS Popular Music Award recipient, was a 2004 Newport Folk Festival pre-finalist, opened for Suzanne Vega at the Living Room in New York, and showcases at many major North American music festivals. In 2005, he was featured as a Spotlight Artist on Sonicbids.com, and honored to perform at Club Passim (Cambridge) at their semi-annual Campfire Festival; and for the second year running, to be picked to play at the Midpoint Music Festival (Cincinnati), Dewey Beach Music Festival (Delaware) and Midwest Music Summit (Indianapolis). His 2004 encore appearance at MMS with Shelley Miller and Dave Golden was noted as a “highlight and perfect ending to an amazing weekend of music" by NuvoWeekly. Miller and Birnbaum, plus Illinois mandolin and fiddle ace Kara Kulpa, now tour together collectively under the moniker of MercyDriver. A show in Indy from their 2005 run was praised as a “riotously fun time.” Jeremiah is also a vibrant and active advocate for new music and emerging artists in the New York songwriting scene, as the longtime host of the popular “Fire and Voice” open mic (Top 10 of 2005, Indie Sounds NY) at the late Micky’s Blue Room in the East Village every Sunday evening. A sought-after accompanist, his lean Telecaster riffing and tasteful harmonies have joined many artists, most notably Sean Smith, Shanna Zell, Tessa Perry, Peter Wolf, Jack Hardy, and Morphine. A new album is in pre-production for spring ’06. | |
