The Jerrells Jazz Trio

Jeremy Slemenda is a Central Texas guitarist with a tone that lives right where jazz guitar sophistication meets dance-floor roots music. Known as the frontman of The Jerrells, he brings warm, melodic single-note lines, punchy chord work, and that swinging pocket that makes a room feel like it just put on a sharper suit.

For the Jerrells Jazz Trio configuration, Jeremy pares it down to the essentials: guitar-forward jazz phrasing, Western Swing elegance, and a little rockabilly snap, delivered with the same “vintage-but-alive” energy The Jerrells are known for. The larger Jerrells lineup features Jeremy on guitar/vocals alongside a rotating cast (often including piano, bass, and drums, with fiddle appearing in the full band), and the trio format spotlights that guitar language even more.

Offstage, he’s also an amp tech based in Georgetown, TX, which tracks, because the sound is part of the craft, not an afterthought. Plug in, lean back, and let the trio turn the Peacock into a low-lit little jazz joint with sharp edges and smooth corners. (YouTube)
