FROM STUDIO ARTIST TO LIVE RAWK BAND
Although the recordings were multi-tracked with him on each instrument sounding like a 4 to a 12 piece band, the live show omitted a good portion of the instrumentation and more complex arrangements in order to be performed as a high energy live show, typically as a trio, later frequently changing line-ups of the band
to include other vocalists, and a horn section.
2013-CURRENT: SOLO ERA - "S.B. JEREMY A LA CARTE" (SELF INDULGENT ARROGANT ONE MAN BAND COMEDIAN)
Although never wanting to be solo, In Nov. Of 2013 he began using a solo one man band approach as a means to explore all the aspects of Live performing that are difficult with a band behind him: stopping mid song for audience interaction/participation,
Stand up comedy that often only the sound guy chuckles at. He has been told countless times that my 1man band show is the best show people have seen. However it is restricted to showcasing styles applicable to the electric guitar/vocals/acoustic drums format. Occasionally using classic steel beans stage antics, props, and f***ing with audience members to make up for the limitations of his coordinative abilities between playing simultaneous instruments. It started under the title: "Steel Beans: Jeremy a la Carte" but the a la carte was eventually phased out. He carries on with just the Steel Beans name.
