About the Artist

Siblings by blood but, perhaps more importantly for roots rock Americana fans looking for a fresh kick, brothers in music, the North Carolina bred duo of Jeremiah Christian Smith and Noah McKinley Smith – collectively known as Jeremiah McKinley – camped out and had a blast in the months before the pandemic turning their parents’ basement into a makeshift recording studio. Founded on the fiery synergy between Jeremiah’s rhythm guitar and Noah’s lead guitar and their complementary lead vocals and picture-perfect harmonies, within days of committing to their bold, edgy and freewheeling musical dreams, they began writing the sublimely raw, wit-filled self-described “dirty folk” tunes that they’d soon share with the world via their first (and still most streamed Spotify) single “Hanging On/Creekside,” followed by a self-titled 2020 EP and their aptly titled full length album debut The Basement Tapes. The quick praise they received from Artistsounds.com pretty much sums up their unique vibe: “With a lo-fie sound they give the listener a real grungy sound, mixed with really raw and gritty vocals.” Follow Jeremiah McKinley at Instagram, Facebook and YouTube https://jeremiahmckinley.com For fans of The Bones of JR Jones, CAAMP, Mt Joy, Ray LaMontagne, Gregory Alan Isakov, Tyler Childers, Whiskey Myers, The Devil Makes Three, Shovels & Rope, Gary Clark Jr, The Black Keys, Noah Guthrie, The Head And The Heart, KALEO, The Lumineers, Dawes, The Fleet Foxes, Marcus King, Lord Huron, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Rayland Baxter, Eric Church, Benjamin Booker, Mumford & Sons, ida Mae, Parker Millsap, Colter Wall, Justin Townes Earle, Kings Of Leon, Jason Isbell, Jonny Lang, Barns Courtney, Shakey Graves, John Mayer, Hozier, X Ambassadors, The Avett Brothers, Angus Stone, Boy & Bear, Vance Joy, Alt-J, Of Monsters and Men, Kurt Vile, Alabama Shakes, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Band, Faces, The Raconteurs, The Strokes, Young The Giant, Cage The Elephant, Jet, The Rolling Stones
