Jeremy Lister

Nashville-Based Jeremy Lister Started Connecting With Music From Early Childhood While Growing Up In The Middle Of Mississippi. A Son Of A Preacher He Began Singing And Learning Harmonies In Church At The Age Of Two. When His Father Would Leave He Would Sneak Into His Guitar Case And Start Picking Out Chords. His Older Brother Richie Was Showing Signs Of Becoming A Virtuoso On The Piano And The Two Began Collaborating And Writing Songs. Rural Mississippi Was Not A Friendly Setting For A Budding Artist. Many Problems Arose For The Lister Brothers Most Notably Jeremy's Hospitalization After A Vicious Group Beating Left Him Near Death With Severe Head Trauma. After Recovering From The Attack Jeremy Found Himself Feeling More Empowered Than Ever To Continue Developing His Creativity Through Music. At Ages 12 And 13 He Traveled Through Europe And The U.K. With His Parents. The Trip Changed His Perspective On Life And Music And Opened His Ears To Bands From Across The Atlantic. Upon Returning To The States He Began Exploring Different Musical Outlets Ranging From An A Cappella Quartet To A Progressive Rock Band. Setting Out On His Own In 2003 Jeremy Moved To Nashville TN Bringing His First EP "Shooting Star" With Him. Here He Began Playing Writers Nights And Passing His CD Along To Anyone Who Would Listen.
