Jeremy DuBois came out west from Connecticut recently, following his muse, making his go at music. "Where better to do that than San Francisco?", he added. I happened upon him on one pleasant September day sitting down crooning at what has to be one of the all-time prime SF busking locales. I'm talking about Powell Street BART, of course, just below the cable-car turn around. It's a sure bet for free lunchtime music (toss 'em a dollar or two though!). Jeremy has a penchant for Lennon-crafted
Beatles tunes and he did a nice version of
In My Life, requested by a certain listener. He also has some original work. Here he is playing a beat-up 1952 Airline acoustic guitar singing his original composition,
Before, During and After. Enjoy!
His guitar work is great, creative and catchy. I especially like the opening to this song, the way he hits every string on the way up and down.
ReplyDeleteThe opening definitely has a While My Guitar Gently Weeps mood to it.
ReplyDeleteYou may not know this, but Jeremy was badly injured in an accidental fall in April 2011. Here is a link to a fundraiser for him and his family that's happening this Sunday in Willimantic, CT (where he's from). Here's a link to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=183139848408442 I know it's a long shot, but if anyone's reading this and in CT, it'd be great if you could come.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry to hear this. I hope he recovers and I hope your event goes well.
