Jeremy Facknitz didn't even pick up a guitar and begin writing songs until he was 18 years old. His aunt, a songwriter herself, passed down her old Yamaha acoustic to Jeremy as Christmas gift. Within a few short months, the Michigan native found himself competing in local talent shows and jamming in various basement bands. In 1997 he made the trek upstairs and joined the Detroit-based band 'The Ottomans' (2001 Best New Alternative Band, Detroit Music Awards). Jeremy played bass guitar in the project, was the main music contributor to the groups compositions. After 'The Ottomans' parted ways in 2002, Jeremy and brother Jarod formed under the moniker 'Standing Room Only' and shared their not-so-subtle mix of deadly serious and comedic songs with intimate coffee shop gatherings throughout the mid-west. Since going solo in September 2003, Jeremy has lived and played all over the United States. Having completed U.S. mini-tours in 2006 and 2008, plans are underway for a 2009 CD release tour to support his new album, "Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack". Jeremy is currently living in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he's performing and teaching lessons. He's also moonlighting as bassist for the Detroit band "Beaten By Yuri" (see www.myspace.com/beatenbyyuri). For more info on Jeremy please see his brand new official website; www.jeremyfacknitz.com.
