Jeremy Squires

New Bern, North Carolina native Jeremy Squires is a singer-songwriter best known for his haunting melodies and evocative lyrics. Squires, a self-taught musician, first picked up the guitar at age eleven, and as he grew a life-long obsession with music was cultivated while playing in bands throughout the 90’s.

After parting ways with his band mates in 2001, Squires took a hiatus from music to focus on his family. The years to follow proved a challenge for Squires as he fought his personal demons. A true musician, Squires was able to turn his fragmented thoughts and self-discovery into poems, which would eventually become - A Place to Hide (January 2012) and In the Dark (May 2012). His most recent EP, Central Nervous Station was self-released in January 2013.

Writing songs to help cope, each release candidly plays out like Jeremy’s personal journals documenting his struggle out of the gloom of depression. To help with the healing process, Jeremy also played and recorded all of the instruments – guitars, harmonica, piano, keyboards, resonator and lap steel. Released so close together, A Place To Hide, In the Dark, and Central Nervous Station can be considered as a trilogy of sorts chronically this dark time of his life.

Now preparing for his next release, When Will You Go, which will be released later this year, Jeremy has continued in the same vein as his previous albums by playing all of the instruments, recording with a handheld recorder, mixing, and producing it all on his own. And, when asked why, Jeremy says, “I wanted the feeling I had when writing and playing the songs to be authentic in the sound of the recordings.”
