New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Independent Music Media) At the intersection of poetry and lyrics, symphony and song, poet, singer-songwriter and guitarist Jeremy Bass has crafted a powerful and captivating sound that comes to life in his debut album Tenant to be released digitally on October 7th.
"Bass just blows you away. It's fine stuff anyone that ever had a soft rock sweet tooth needs to bite into. Well done" - Midwest Record
"By the time I'd wrapped Tenant, a large batch of new songs had already coalesced into two singular, more specific projects: an EP of modern folk-country tunes entitled Winter Bare, and an EP of bossa-nova style compositions, New York in Spring," Jeremy explains.
The recording of Winter Bare will take place at the legendary New Monkey Studio in Los Angeles this fall. New York in
Spring will be recorded early winter at the brand new Creekside Sound in Brooklyn. If you want to be part of the process and see what unique and one-of-a-kind backer prizes Jeremy has to offer, then hurry up and check out his Kickstarter page here:

Recorded over the course of several years between engagements in poetry and musical direction at some of the premier institutions on the East and West Coasts (Bread Loaf and Sewanee Writers' Conferences, New Dramatists in NYC and the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles), Tenant draws on Jeremy's classical background, his love of traditional Americana music, and the soul and power-driven rock'n'roll.
"Americana is one of our favorite genres to dig into right now. The artists and writers of the country sub-genre tend to honor the songwriting craft while taking the chances that everybody else seems too afraid to take. This is the case with newcomer Jeremy Bass and his debut album Tenant. Fusing together poetic lyrics that stay focused on telling compelling stories of life and love and bringing them together with melodies that pull from a 60's inspired folk vibe and roots rock element gives this album character" -- One Stop Country
Jeremy has been praised for the stirring clarity and richness of his voice, his masterful skill at the guitar, and the seemingly effortless way he blends the two skills into performances of rare beauty and intimacy.
Look for Tenant, available for pre-order on
September 23rd.
