Releases Video from The Graveyard Tour
"[Jeremy Messersmith's] hyper-literate, hyper-melodic tunes just keep getting better." - NBC New York
"Messersmith's voice is an airy, whispery kind of instrument, his singing is as clear as a piece of cut
crystal." - NPR
"His songs seem to remind us that for every bit of rottenness that is out there... there are so many more flashes of incredible beauty. - Daytrotter
Watch Jeremy and his band perform at a graveyard on YouTube
Minnesota-based songwriter Jeremy Messersmith & his band are pleased to announce another string of summer tour dates, this time making their way to the West coast. Messersmith and his band just wrapped up an NPR Tiny Desk Concert and are continuing on The Graveyard Tour, following an amazing set of East coast dates where they visited and performed at graveyards in each city. Click on the image above to watch live footage from tour as they perform "Toussaint Grey, First in Life and Death." Also, find out why Messersmith is dubbed the "Dungeon Master" in his cover story for The Nerd Issue of Vita.mn.
Messersmith's newest album and final installment of a trilogy, The Reluctant Graveyard, was featured as one of NPR's Best Albums of 2010. Known for his innovative approach to art and his cross platform creativity, his papercraft animation Tatooine video (where he sums up the Star Wars Trilogy in two minutes), received outstanding praise and was one of PBS' top picks for "The Music Video Makes a Comeback" feature. Messersmith offers fans the ability to pay what they wish on his Bandcamp site and regularly updates his own website with new content every Wednesday.
