Opening For Edie: Jeremy Facknitz

Jeremy Facknitz has been entertaining audiences with his lovingly crafted music and high-energy performances for over a quarter century. Since the 2002 break-up of his Detroit-based band “The Ottomans” (who earned a 2001 Detroit Music Award for Best New Alternative Band, beating out “The White Stripes”), Jeremy has performed primarily as a solo act, marrying Americana and jazz stylings to showcase his intimate stories of life, love, and self-discovery. After years carving out a living performing mostly cover songs in bars and pubs, a serious illness in 2017 prompted Jeremy to focus on touring and performing his own material. He was named a top 24 finalist from over 700 entries in the 2020 and 2022 Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competitions at Kerrville Folk Festival, and his song “Ballet of an Unhatched Chick” was awarded semi-finalist distinction at songoftheyear.com for 2020.
