ION’S REVERBNATION ARTIST OF THE MONTH
By J.B. Bridges
East of Atlanta near the South Carolina Border sits Augusta, GA, known for the pristine golf
course that host the world famous AUGUSTA OPEN. What they are also home to is the lesserknown JEREMY GRAHAM BAND. But the way these guys play, that may not soon be the case.
Their ability to blend Country and Rock in top notch fashion and not leave you wanting in
either genre, is one of the reasons ION INDIE MAGAZINE selected the Jeremy Graham Band
for their REVERBNATION Artist of the Month.
JEREMY GRAHAM BAND was voted “Best in Augusta #1 Country Band” winner, was nominated
for “Country Artist of the Year” in 2009, 2010, 2011 and is sponsored by JÄGERMEISTER. These
guys have a heavy tour schedule. Almost any given night, their tour bus is on the road. And
many of those times, it includes playing shows for our military members. They toured with the
Armed Forces Entertainment to Tokyo in 2009. In 2011, they did a three week tour of Europe to
entertain our troops in Germany, then Netherlands, Bosnia, and Kosovo. Having a close friend
that has done USO shows for over 25 years in over 70 countries, (J.B.WALKER AND THE CHEAP
WHISKEY BAND), I know the amount of time and dedication involved in doing overseas shows.
For that, I give you a personal thanks and a hearty "SCOUTS OUT!"
JEREMY GRAHAM has opened for nationally known artists JASON ALDEAN, BUDDY JEWELL, LEE
ANN WOMACK, JAMEY JOHNSON and others. Jeremy Graham Band members are: JEREMY
GRAHAM (lead vocals/acoustic guitar), MIKE BURRESS (rhythm guitar/background vocals),
L.M. ENGLISH (steel guitar), AL BEASLEY (bass guitar/background vocals), JUSTIN PITTMAN (lead
guitar/background vocals), ZACH LORD (drums) and JAMES VAUGHN (lead guitar and
keyboard). You'll be hearing a lot more from this group of southern gentlemen in the near days
to come.
