Jeremiah Johnson, a 2022 Blues Music Award nominee for "Best Blues Rock Album" with 'Unemployed Highly Annoyed,' has been hailed as one of the "75 Modern Blues & Blues Rock Artists You Must Hear 2021" by Rock & Blues Muse. A world-class Guitarist, Singer, and Songwriter, Johnson masterfully blends the sounds of the south, Mississippi River blues, and a dash of country flair. His emotionally charged southern rock, fueled by the common man's passion for life and its myriad struggles, delivers songs with deep meaning, a compelling voice, and exceptional musicianship.
Boasting nine albums, Jeremiah's journey through music saw him initially delve into jazz during his college years before fully embracing blues-rock. He clinched the Regional International Blues Challenge in Houston, Texas, in 2004, 2005, and 2006, and triumphed at the St. Louis Blues Society Regional International Blues Challenge in 2011. Jeremiah Johnson has since achieved two #1 Billboard charting Blues albums with "Heavens to Betsy" in 2020 and "HI-FI Drive By" in 2022, alongside four additional albums that made the top ten—a remarkable six top ten albums out of his last nine!
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1973, Jeremiah's music is a vibrant fusion of St. Louis blues, southern rock, and country, creating an electrifying connection between the artist and the audience.
