Jeremiah, formerly of heavy-duty Americana-rock band, The Ramblers, is a "rootsy, soulful troubadour" (Time Out, London) with his own brand of "raucous alt-country...a rabbi's son with a touch of whiskey burning his soul" (New York Magazine, Critic's Pick). This show will feature songs from Lucky, Jeremiah's recent solo acoustic album. Recorded stripped-down and mostly live in the studio in the tradition of early Dylan, Springsteen's Nebraska and Nick Drake, Jeremiah finished Lucky just before a vocal cord injury in 2012 that required surgery and more than a month of complete vocal rest.
Since recovering in August, Jeremiah's been touring constantly in support of Lucky. By January, the record reached #31 on the Roots Music Report charts for New York artists, receiving spins coast-to-coast on many independent folk radio stations, including WFUV in New York, where he was featured by legendary DJ John Platt both on the air, and at Platt's monthly live showcase of up-and-coming artists, "On Your Radar."
Jeremiah has received several ASCAP songwriting awards, has been featured at prominent festivals including the Club Passim Campfire and CMJ, and has opened for many notable artists, including the late Levon Helm. This is Birnbaum’s first show in Middletown.
Ben Rabb is a classic story-weaver, and though a newcomer to the scene, his voice is one of experience, image and emotion. Whether it’s true, partially true, or completely false is for the listener to surmise. Fusing organic soul with folk melodies, Rabb’s fluid and distinguished passion absorbs audiences from coast to coast. He's been lauded as "resurrecting the art of musical storytelling" (7 Duckets), and regularly performs throughout the Northeast - from NYC to Providence, RI, as well as the Midwest - from Omaha, NE to Austin, TX. He has performed on WCCT-TV in Connecticut, and has received radio play in cities from St. Louis, MO to Charlotte, NC.
The Buttonwood Tree is located at 605 Main Street, Middletown, CT. Tickets are $10. The show is from 8-10 pm on Saturday, January 26. www.buttonwood.org
