Jeremy Fisher

I recently heard an interview with Jeremy Fisher on CBC radio,  Specifically, "Q" with Jian Ghomeshi.  I can't tell you how impressed I am with this guy!  Well maybe I can.  Here goes...

First.  He's writes great songs.  You need to check out Shine a little light , Cigarette, Jolene and The Scar that never heals.  These are all Youtube videos that stand by themselves, but the songwriting is superb.

Jeremy's performance is somewhere a cross between Bob Dylan and Paul Simon.  He plays guitar feverishly and  keeps things moving along with savory lyrics and appealing melodies.



In the CBC interview Jeremy gave a live performance, just him and his guitar.  Definitely not as polished as his recordings but authentic and satisfying just the same, maybe better.

If you get a chance check him out at a live event or pickup his new album.  This guy is a true talent that needs to be appreciated for his art.
