Jeremy Ritch & The Cowards

About Me

Jeremy Ritch started writing country songs in 1998 with some friends college. They started a band called Stag Thicket. Jeremy continued to play under the name after the bands demise for 9 years as a solo project.
In 2006 Jeremy recorded 4 songs with some friends and it rejuvenated his desire to play some good ole country music. As for The Cowards, they are the various hooligans, renegades and degenerates he finds to play and record with. The music is raw stripped down and basic, the way it should be.
Jeremy is currently writing and searching for the next generation of Cowards to join him on stage and in the studio.
