Jeremy
Shrader Biography
Over the
last fifteen years, Jeremy Shrader has performed thousands of times
throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. He has been
asked to contribute compositions and perform on a dozen CDs with
several Memphis artists of varying styles. Shrader has
provided trumpet solos, lead and background vocals, guitar, and
keyboard tracks showcasing his flexibility as an artist.
Jeremy
is also is a staple on the Mid-South event scene. His groups are loved
by event planners and brides alike and his 16-piece big band, The New
Memphis Hepcats, and various smaller ensembles keep events hopping.
His true gift is for interpreting swing and jazz standards
with his golden voice and trumpet to match, a skill which he has honed
since he fell in love with big band music as a teenager in Clarksville,
TN. Although the two self-released CDs by the Hepcats
demonstrate Shrader's talents as a singer, trumpeter, composer,
arranger, and bandleader; it is truely in front of a live audience
where he really flourishes. He can be seen regularly in
Memphis at fine dining restaurants, upscale bars, swanky events, and
the occasional dive.
In 2005, Jeremy
flexed his musical muscle by taking on the roles of producer and
recording engineer, co-founding the Electric Room record
label. To date Electric Room has released three CDs and is
currently producing a CD for the Memphis Tourism Foundation featuring
12 local bands, including the Hepcats. Shrader received his
Bachelors of Music in Jazz Composition in 2001 from the University of
Memphis Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music. He is also an
educator in his own right, serving as a private guitar, band, and
general music teacher in both private and group settings.
