Jeremiah Sammartano, new Milwaukee resident (Sept 2024), Emmy nominated singer/songwriter who fronts the bluesy/Americana and sometimes one-man band, Jeremiah and the Red Eyes, has covered many miles over the past several years - taking the various roads spreading music influenced by the raw blues of Charley Patton, the lyrical and often raucous sounds of The Pogues, the twang of Willie Nelson, and some vintage rock and roll.
"Delta Blues and Twangy Grooves" - from Los Angeles outward through the western states to St. Louis, Nashville (where he relocated for a spell in 2008-2009), Chicago - and overseas to the UK. In the past, Jeremiah has shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Southern Culture On The Skids, David Olney, and has performed on the radio shows: WDVX Blue Plate Special out of Knoxville, TN., The Live@Lunch show on KRFC out of Fort Collins, CO., and ResonanceFM out of London, UK.
