Jeremie Albino

A Canadian singer/songwriter based in rural Prince Edward County, Jeremie Albino's music offers gritty storytelling grafted onto roots rhythms and hooky melodies across country, Americana, raw roots rock, soul, and vintage blues. Albino wrings every ounce of poignancy from lyrics about the land, its people, and their stories. Hard Time, his 2019 debut, marked his first time in a studio with a band. 2021's raw, gorgeous Blue Blue Blue was recorded with roots singer/songwriter Cat Clyde, offering seven covers and two originals. 2023's raucous Tears You Hide sprawled across Albino's genre palette, loosely tying them together in a set that projected longing, regret, and reflection. In 2024, with producer Dan Auerbach and his studio cast at Nashville's Easy Eye Sound, he cut Our Time in the Sun. The 12-song set was composed in the studio. Albino was born and raised in Toronto. He grew up listening to the sounds of the earliest Delta blues, Skip James, Furry Lewis, and Lightning Hopkins, and he picked up a guitar at 15 and learned harmonica, too. Albino joined the army of buskers on Toronto's vibrant streets, learning to connect with and perform for people. Seeking a slower, more rural existence, he moved to Prince Edward County in southern Ontario. He spent a decade working on farms and learning about country life. In the evenings, after working in the fields, he wrote songs. Albino eventually performed at an open mike there and was encouraged by the patrons who dug his set. It resulted in more gigs and eventually an indie record deal with Johny Shipes' Cinematic Music Group. He entered a studio and rehearsed and recorded with a band for the first time. Albino put almost every song he'd ever written on the album, including "Shipwrecked," his very first one. Titled Hard Time, it offered intimate portraits of rural life. It won praise from blues, folk, and Americana critics from North America to Australia. The songwriter took a band on the road, but he also played many dates solo across Canada and the U.S. Two years later, he teamed with the Southern Ontario singer/songwriter Cat Clyde for 2021's Blue Blue Blue. They got to know one another on the circuit and worked together live. They recorded seven covers by everyone from Blind Willie McTell and Woody Guthrie to Elizabeth Cotten, Bob Dylan, and A.P. Carter as well as a pair of originals they crafted together. In 2023, Albino returned with The Tears You Hide, a raucous exercise in edgy songwriting in the vocabularies of folk, blues, and country. Critics fell over themselves writing about the set's poignant intensity and detailed emotional and psychological profiles of his protagonists. The album was widely lauded and afforded Albino the opportunity to add Europe and England to his touring résumé. Immediately after getting off the road, Albino began discussions with producer/label boss/musician Dan Auerbach (Black Keys). The songwriter signed to his Easy Eye Sound and traveled to Nashville to record in the label's studio. Auerbach picked a cast that included Tommy Brennek (Menahan Street Band), Malcolm Catto (Heliocentrics), studio guitar ace Tom Bukovac, and keyboardist Mike Rojas, percussionist Sam Bacco, Tim O'Brien, and a four-piece horn section that gave various tracks an Eddie Hinton-esque Stax feel. Auerbach played guitar and several other instruments. The duo wrote in the studio and recorded the results live from the floor. The album crackled with rootsy energy and powerful emotions, though first single "Rollin' Down the 405" was a bluesy country boogie. Songs on the date reflected the desires, heartbreaks, victories, and losses from his own life, but more importantly those of his neighbors in Prince Edward County. It appeared in November 2024.
