Since the 2002 break-up of his Detroit- based band 'The Ottomans' (they earned a 2001 Detroit Music Award for Best New Alternative Band\, beating out 'The White Stripes')\, Jeremy has perf ormed primarily as a solo act\, marrying folk-rock and jazz stylings to sh owcase his intimate stories of life\, love\, and self-discovery. \n\nBut from 2003 to 2017\, those stories seemed to fall on deaf ears. Facknitz ca rved out a living performing at bars\, coffeeshops\, and corporate events while teaching lessons on the side. 'I was happy to be making a living per forming music\, but my original music wasn't being heard - and as the year s passed I found myself more and more frustrated playing to little more th an the din of drunken conversation.' Things came to a head on July 17th\, 2017 when Jeremy was diagnosed with viral meningitis. 'I came face to face with my mortality\, and I realized it was time for a change. I quit perfo rming at bars and spent the next year making the leap to house concerts\, touring\, and performing solely for listening audiences.' \n\nThe leap ha s paid off. Jeremy was named a top 24 finalist from over 800 entries in th e 2020 and 2022 Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competitions at Kerrville Folk Festival. His song 'Smilin' At The Future' made him an Emp ower (Posi) Music Award Winner in 2023. \n\nWhile occasionally performing with his 6 piece band in Colorado\, Jeremy continues to tour solo - perfor ming at house concerts and listening rooms in the United States\, Canada a nd Europe. His 6th solo album 'Smilin' At The Future' was released March 3 1st\, 2023 to worldwide critical acclaim.\n\nTIDBITS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Finalist for the 2020 and 2022 Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competitions at the Kerrville Folk Festival...
