Jeremie Albino is 26 and never worked with a band or a producer until now.
Well, better than late than never because Jeremie has created a debut album dripping with beer-n-bourbon soaked American soul.
There’s a yearning to Jeremie’s earthy voice – and his music drives forth with banjo twangs, harmonica licks, piano key flutters, and hardened guitar sweeps.
Jeremie’s LP is called Hard Time, but the tunes are easy on the ears and available now.
Get to know Jeremie below.

Back Alley Music in Charlottetown PEI. They’ve got great records [and] a sweet pinball machine in the back.

5. Other than your own music, what is your favorite song or album of all-time? Why?
Harry Belafonte Live at Carnegie Hall has to be one of my favourite records of all time. The musicianship of the band and Harry’s voice and stage presence. It’s just so good!! There’s nothin’ really like it now days.

6. You wake up in a seedy Berlin hotel room with no recollection of the past 96 hours. Who is your first call?
My Ma and Pa for sure, haha.
