Some people have it and some people dont. Jeremy Austin happens to have it and a whole lot more. With the musical talent, the look, the motivation and, most importantly, the heart, Jeremy Austin has what every up-and-coming musician dreams of. But Austin wont settle for what he already has because this time, he wants it all.
For several years, Austin paid his dues in the North Florida music scene as a member of a few different local bands. His longest endeavor, Breaking Up, acquired a large, loyal fan base during its years together; while his most recent project, Four Star Day, was showcasing for major labels within months of forming. After Four Star Day fizzled, Austin contemplated trying his hand at the solo gig rather than putting together another band.
But then, in early 2004, Austin gathered up some former acquaintances from the Jacksonville scene (bassist Kelly OBrien and drummer Dan Wagler) and seemingly stumbled upon the perfect line-up. The threesomes brilliant chemistry (both on a musical and personal level) and tight performances have caused Austin to cast off his thoughts of going solo. Says Austin, I have possibly found the band that I was supposed to be in for the rest of my life.
Specializing in what the guys term heartbreak rock, Emilies Bridge crafts infectiously catchy yet emotionally honest rock songs that youll find yourself singing for days even after one listen. With lyrics that touch on lost love (whether it be a significant other or a family member) and the rollercoaster nature of being in a relationship, the songs express emotions to which everyone can relate. People will listen to Emilies Bridges music and think, Theyre singing this song for me.
Whats different this time around for the members of Emilies Bridge is an unwavering determination to take the band as far as possible and a focus on making fans the number one priority. A band can be amazingly talented, but without fans, it wont amount to anything and Emilies Bridge realizes that. The guys strive to connect with fans on stage, chat with them before and after shows, and personally respond to e-mails. Its so crucial to make the fans and people who listen to us feel like theyre part of the music, adds Austin.
With hearts of gold, mad skills, and a solid plan for taking the music world by storm, Emilies Bridge stands poised to leave its mark. So forget the past attempts, the empty promises, and the broken dreams. This time, Austin and Emilies Bridge are going to make it happen.
