JEREMY EDWARDS

Described by Grammy winning producer / mixer Eric J Dubowsky (Chet Faker, Flume, Angus and Julia Stone) as ‘the thinking man’s Keith Richards’, Jeremy Edwards is a producer, singer-songwriter and guitarist based in the seaside surrounds of Thirroul, NSW.

He was a Wollongong boy born into a family immersed by music. His parents eclectic vinyl collection (Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Ry Cooder, Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart alongside more hardcore blues, soul, jazz and classical music) was constantly reverberating at high volume throughout the house, seeping into Jeremy and his older brother’s hearts and minds. Bless. Blessed.

After his return from a few years travelling in Europe, Edwards then began discovering the songs of Patty Griffin, Buddy Miller, Fred Eaglesmith, Steve Earl and Lucinda Williams and the beauty of sweet, close harmony over tough rock n roll guitars. The die was cast.

Jeremy has since gone on to play, work with and write songs with some of Australia’s most successful artists in the Country, Blues and Roots arenas – from 2012 The Voice winner Karise Eden, to Golden Guitar winners Aleyce Simmonds, Kevin Bennett, Lyn Bowtell, Felicity Urquhart and Shane Nicholson, plus many other talented artists including Dom Turner (The Backsliders) and Jen Mize.

In between working with artists such as these Jeremy ran is own 5-piece alt country band Dust Radio, was the musical director for touring acts The Songs And Tales of Angry Old Men and Pearl: The Janis Joplin Story and, with many of the artists previously listed, is a song writing mentor at the annual DAG singer-songwriters retreat in Tamworth.

2023 sees Jeremy Edwards release ‘Ghosts’, his fourth album under his own name, with the second single Ghosts, featuring Shane Nicholson dropping July 7th 2023.
