Add to My Profile | More VideosSEE JEREMY IN A CITY NEAR YOU THIS SUMMER!Jeremy Facknitz didn't even pick up a guitar and begin writing songs until he was 18 years old. His aunt, a songwriter herself, passed down her old Yamaha acoustic to Jeremy as Christmas gift. Within a few short months, the Michigan native found himself competing in local talent shows and jamming in various basement bands. In 1997 he made the trek upstairs and joined the Detroit-based band 'The Ottomans' (2001 Best New Alternative Band, Detroit Music Awards). Jeremy played bass guitar in the project, was the main music contributor to the groups compositions. After 'The Ottomans' parted ways in 2002, Jeremy and brother Jarod (who is now known as 'Mr. Coffee's Frisbee') formed under the moniker 'Standing Room Only' and shared their not-so-subtle mix of deadly serious and comedic songs with intimate coffee shop gatherings throughout the mid-west. Since going solo in September 2003, Jeremy has lived and played all over the United States. Having completed his first U.S. tour in 2006, plans are underway for a 2008 mini-tour and a 2009 CD release tour to support his upcoming albums.Jeremy is currently living in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he's writing and preparing to release two new original albums by spring 2009. He's also moonlighting as bassist for the Detroit band "Beaten By Yuri" (see www.myspace.com/beatenbyyuri). For more info on Jeremy please see his brand new official website; www.jeremyfacknitz.com.
