 ined\, please come enjoy a meal along with the beautiful musical stylings 
 of Jeremy Facknitz.\n\nAt intermission\, we'll offer a selection of tasty

 o enjoy.\n\nNow\, more about Jeremy Facknitz:\n\n'This is all far above th
 e ordinary. The 6-member band is the chef in a musical kitchen – each reci
 pe conjured tastefully... A good time is guaranteed for all.' - John Apice
 \, Americana Highways\n\n'Jeremy Facknitz is indeed a major talent. Packed
  with tunes that manage to sound both familiar and refreshingly new\, Smil
 in’ at the Future is an excellent album – and\, I can guarantee\, like not
 hing you’ll have ever heard before.' - John Barliss\, At The Barrier\n\nJe
 remy Facknitz has been entertaining audiences with his lovingly crafted mu
 sic and high-energy performances for over a quarter-century. Since the 200
 2 breakup of his Detroit-based band 'The Ottomans' (they earned a 2001 Det
 roit Music Award for Best New Alternative Band\, beating out 'The White St
 ripes')\, Jeremy has performed primarily as a solo act\, marrying folk-roc
 k and jazz stylings to showcase his intimate stories of life\, love\, and 
 self-discovery.\n\nBut from 2003 to 2017\, those stories seemed to fall on
  deaf ears. Facknitz carved out a living performing at bars\, coffee shops
 \, and corporate events while teaching lessons on the side. 'I was happy t
 o be making a living performing music\, but my original music wasn't being
  heard - and as the years passed\, I found myself more and more frustrated
  playing to little more than the din of drunken conversation.' Things came
  to a head on July 17th\, 2017\, when Jeremy was diagnosed with viral meni
 ngitis. 'I came face to face with my mortality\, and I realized it was tim
 e for a change. I quit performing at bars and spent the next year making t
 he leap to house concerts\, touring\, and performing solely for listening 
 audiences.'\n\nThe leap has paid off. Jeremy was named a top 24 finalist f
 rom over 800 entries in the 2020 and 2022 Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk S
 ongwriting Competitions at Kerrville Folk Festival. His song 'Smilin' At T
 he Future' made him an Empower Music Award (formerly known as Posi Award) 
 Finalist in 2023. His songs 'Ballet of an Unhatched Chick' and 'Michigan (
 Something In The Water)' were awarded semi-finalist distinction at songoft
 heyear.com\, also in 2020 and 2022.\n\nWhile occasionally performing with 
 his 6-piece band in Colorado\, Jeremy continues to tour solo - performing 
 at house concerts and listening rooms in the United States\, Canada\, and 
 Europe. His 6th solo album 'Smilin' At The Future' was released on March 3
 1st\, 2023.\n\nTIDBITS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Finalist for the 2020 and 2022
