{For Jeremy's debut CD, Mandala}
Sensitive, purposeful, and masterful. A modern-day Gordon Lightfoot/Cat Stevens with an inclination for Buddhism. Strong, intelligent, and mature-grassroots songwriting coupled with accomplished playing. Every phrase, every note moves with love and meaning. I have a feeling that Jeremy is right where he wants to be.

"Often, with a certain lyrical alchemy, Jeremy makes us consider some aspect of life in a brand new way. As always, he is simultaneously conversant with mundane and sublime worlds, with Jersey tolls, or living through a lonely and cold, cold night." - Dr. Stephen Schrum

Bio
“I enjoy learning about the music that inspired my favorite artists, and more often than not that leads back to the blues, or back to roots music. So I prefer to call myself a blues/roots musician – not a singer-songwriter.”
Jeremy dePrisco is a Bloomsburg, PA producer and songwriter who has released several collections of original music in the folk-rock genre, drawing also from blues and progressive rock. Jeremy has created sound design for a number of university and local theatre productions, performed with a Hungarian folk group and with a Bengali tabla player. Jeremy’s 2010 CD “Chaos Rise Up” is based on themes of technology and media influence.
Inspired by the folk tradition of artists like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, Jeremy's approach to learning and performing acoustic music is filled with reverence for the folk process and the place of music as part of a community. Jeremy counts as influences diverse artists such as Jethro Tull, Cat Stevens, Tom Waits, acoustic blues, progressive rock . His work is informed by heavy listening of broad musical styles such as Eastern European, East Indian and West African music.
In 2011 Jeremy and his wife Audra formed the duo Fricknadorable, which incorporates ukulele, percussion and features an expanded set list of Irish music, novelty songs and 80s hits.
