Jeremy Pinnell

When Jeremy Pinnell released OH/KY in the summer of 2014 to stunned acclaim, it felt like an entire career compressed into one knock-out album. Hailed as a “mind-blowingly good” (Greg Vandy, KEXP) “tutorial on classic country music” (Popmatters), Pinnell’s debut immediately differentiated as authentic and unflinching. Dogged touring through Europe and the states and celebrated radio sessions followed, cementing Pinnell’s position as a no-fuss master of his craft. His 2017 album Ties of Blood and Affection presents a canny lateral move. Recorded live to tape by Mike Montgomery at Dayton, KY’s Candyland Studio, ROLLING STONE stated “Ties of Blood and Affection is a stellar collection that could earn Pinnell comparisons to Sturgill Simpson.” In January of 2021, after announcing the upcoming release of a third studio album recorded by Jonathan Tyler, Pinnell released his cover of the Concrete Blonde classic "Joey". ROLLING STONE called it "a country dirge mournful enough to make Townes Van Zandt cry". "Goodbye LA", Pinnell's third studio record was released October 1st, 2021 via SofaBurn Records. In June of 2023, Pinnell linked up with GRAMMY award winning producer Shooter Jennings and recorded what would become “Decades”. “Decades” features Patrick Keeler of The Raconteurs on drums and was mixed by GRAMMY winner Trina Shoemaker. This was his 4th studio album released on Northern KY imprint SofaBurn Records and came out in late 2025.
