Jeremy Rowe gaining ... Exposure

CAPTION: Calumet native Jeremy Rowe's new CD, "Where the Truth Lies," is now available

locally and receiving airplay around the world.

By GARRETT NEESE, DMG Writer

HANCOCK — For an aspiring rocker in the late '80s and early '90s, one of the goals was having MTV VJ Adam Curry announce your song.

Jeremy Rowe can scratch one childhood ambition off the list. The Flying Dutchman recently played one of Rowe's songs on his daily Sirius Radio podcast.

"He said, 'Jeremy Rowe, he's got this new album out, and he's back with a vengeance,'" Rowe said. "To hear him say that was unbelievable. I grew up watching this guy, and he's digging my stuff."

Both locally and globally, things are picking up steam for Rowe after the release this year of his debut full-length "Where The Truth Lies."

The songs were written over a six-year span, with some being written right before the album was finished.

The album's title track deals with the story of a fighter jet that was sent to pursue an unidentified flying object over Lake Superior. Both the fighter jet and the object were found last year, though diving teams have not gone down yet.

The theme of hidden information runs throughout the album, Rowe said.

"We don't know how much we're being told lies," he said. "We don't know what the truth is. Not to sound like a paranoid person, but I believe there's a lot going on underneath the surface that we don't know about."

Rowe's extensive live experience with his band was advantageous when it came time to record, he said.

"When we play live shows, it makes it a lot easier to get in the studio and play them because we've played them live," Rowe said. "Things seem to flow a lot easier. It's one of those things where it's one or two takes and I've got it down, and so does everybody else in the band ... having a band helps to bring things together a lot."

Rowe has been able to bring his music to more listeners through Internet outlets. Along with Curry's Sirius Radio show, he's earned play on the Podsafe Music Countdown, which has 200,000 listeners, and has been asked to do a theme song for another Sirius podcaster.

Add in the listeners who visit him on MySpace, and Rowe's looking at a sizable global audience.

"I'm getting e-mails from people in Germany, and Amstersdam, and Thailand, people playing my shows over there, England and all over," he said. "It's a global thing, and I think the power of that whole thing is so unbelievable."

For this summer, Rowe is looking to get booked at different music festivals across the Midwest. Such shows are great for artists, he said, since the crowds come to hear the music instead of socializing.

He cited a recent concert at the Finnish American Heritage Center for the Humane Society.

"Something like that, you're going to get more out of it because you're going to watch every angle of the performance," he said.

Rowe's written more songs since finishing the album. But rather than rush into the studio, he's going to focus on beating the traditional sophomore slump.

"I think the more and more I write, hopefully I'm getting better and getting more efficient at writing an album that good in a quicker amount of time," he said. "The next album I do, I want to come out as good or stronger than this one."

Rowe's album is available online at www.cdbaby.com and iTunes, and locally at Good Times Music in Houghton, Shute's 1890 Saloon in Calumet, Mix 93, and the C-L-K School Store.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Eddie Money Show.  We had a great time and I felt that it went really well and people seemed to be very receptive.  I can't explain what a great feeling it was!

I have made the four songs on here available for anyone to download.  Even though it is nice to make money off of CD sales. |It is equal to paying for advertising to just give them away.  If it is going to prompt someone to listen to the music more/like the music/come to live shows/spread the word... etc.... I would rather give them away and possibly gain more fans than to have people only hear them once and forget about them.  If you download the songs and like them maybe you will be that much more likely to buy the real album when it comes out.  If not then who cares........one true fa is far better than $10 for a CD..... and just like advertising it is an investment. -j.r.

Still working on new album....   worlking with pj olsson now.....  but he is all over the globe for the next few months......  switzerland..... japan..... etc....   so I am going to be resuming just recording without him and here and there when he is around we will most likely be mixing....... one good thing about not being done with this album is that I am coming up with more material that will add to it....... so that way I can fiilter out songs that aren't as strong as I want them to be...... playing live is really helping he process.... it surely will save time and money in the studio......and hopefully give a more organic feel to the record.......  let's hope it's doen sometime in 2006.....   -jr
