So I have decided to start doing little FYI posts about our Local Artists/Musicians/Business Owners and such.

I would like to introduce you to Jeremy Jones. Jeremy lives in Cowlitz county and I met him through the church we both attend on Sunday nights called Oasis. I have a set of 10 questions I borrowed from another person and here is what Jeremy had to say:

1. What aspect of making music excites you the most right now?
Finding a new way of writing songs, playing my guitar or even a new way to sing.

2. What aspect of making music gets you the most discouraged?
Writing or trying to find a new sound, I really don’t like writing a new song and having it sound like everything else that I have written.

3. What are you up to right now, music-wise? (Current or upcoming recordings, tours, extravaganzas, experiments, top-secret projects, etc).
I’m writing whenever I can and that is pretty much all of the time. I should be recording here soon I hope lol. I’m hoping to be going on tour with my cousins band, there is talk that we may be going to London but we are not quite sure yet.

4. What’s the most unusual place you’ve ever played a show or made a recording? How did the qualities of that place affect the show/recording?
Well I have not played at very many places so I really don’t have any stories to tell yet.

5. In what ways does the place where you live (or places where you have lived), affect the music you create, or your taste in music?
Well nobody or nothing has ever affected my music, I have always been my own person.

6. When was the last time you wrote a song? What can you tell us about it?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Yeah I wrote a new song about two weeks ago and it is about not letting your heart harden and asking God to keep my heart soft.

7. As you create more music, do you find yourself getting more or less interested in seeking out and listening to new music made by other people…and why do you think that is?
Yeah I listen to all kinds of music I never listen to just one kind because there is just so much out there to hear. I love music.

8. Lately what musical periods or styles do you find yourself most drawn to as a listener? (Old or new music? Music like yours or different from yours?)                                                                                                                                                  I do like Indie. Rock maybe a little more but I love all kinds of music really.

9. Name a band or musician, past or present, who you flat-out LOVE and think more people should be listening to.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I really love Muse, the song, “Uprising” from their album “The Resistance”, it just gets my day started.

10. What’s the saddest song you’ve ever heard?
Well that would have to be Rascal Flatts, their song “Things that matter.

You can often find Jeremy with a bunch of other cool Artists over at the Intermission Coffee House across from Fred Meyer on Ocean Beach Hwy in Longview,WA on Friday nights for Open Mic.

I don’t think he has a fan page yet on facebook but you can find him and add him to facebook. You can see videos he has made of himself playing and singing… good stuff.

For his mini photo shoot for this post we met up at Zojo’s coffee which is located on 14th right in front of Fusion Bubble Tea in Longview,WA. We got some really neat shots from inside the shop and outside in the rain. Find Zojo’s coffee on Facebookas well! I was so glad to learn they use Oregon Chai…love that stuff!
