An underground contemporary jazz artist.
Simon Jermyn is a guitarist, electric bassist, composer, and educator based between NYC and Berlin, originally from Ireland. Downtown Music Gallery’s Bruce Lee Gallanter praised his work, saying: “By far, [Hymni] is the best solo electric bass effort I’ve heard since Hugh Hopper’s classic solo album 1984 from 1973.” Simon stays busy across a wide range of projects, performing with Jim Black’s Guitar Quartet, Roamer, and Sooner, alongside his own band Obsany and his solo work. His latest project is a deeply collaborative and transformative album of duets with longtime collaborator Luke Marantz. Their highly anticipated release, Echoes, arrives January 9, 2026 via Chill Tone Records.
