Dubbed a "rootsy, soulful troubadour" by Time Out (London), Jeremiah is a Jersey boy with a Southern heart. He currently performs both under his own name, and with good friends in The Ramblers, an Uncle Tupelo-esque alt-country band in Brooklyn. When not performing his own tunes, he's often playing lead guitar and steel for other artists. The son of a rabbi, Jeremiah grew up with his parents' LP records and a great encouragement to be who he wanted to be. He started working in NYC recording studios and making his own music, by any means necessary, at age 17. The Ramblers have had the great honor of opening up for Levon Helm, and play in NY often, including packed shows at The Living Room, Mercury Lounge, Rockwood Music Hall, and Joe's Pub. The Ramblers recently performed at the CMJ and Great South Bay music festivals in New York.
"Birnbaum's music, painted with melodic vocals, rolling beats, chiming guitar and lush piano, recalls the sound of The Band as well as more contemporary alt. country artists like the seminal Uncle Tupelo and always-stellar Lucinda Williams." Nate Schweber, Patch.com
