“Certainty and clarity are like everything else, yeah, they come and go”
These are the kind of gentle reminders you get when you listen to Los Angeles based songwriter Jeremy Ferrara. Regarded as “open-hearted and determinedly honest” by Americana UK, and as “exuding as much gentleness and vulnerability as anything in Nick Drake’s catalog” by Americana Highways, Ferrara has had a storied early career. Opening for John Craigie, Field Medic, touring the US and Europe multiple times, and signing to a label, all while working as the guitarist in fellow rising star Margo Cilker’s touring band. Rarely do folk songwriters remain as centered, as earnest, and as entertaining. Ferrara comes through on his latest Darkness Is A Bright Sound - produced by Luke Temple (Adrianne Lenker, Hand Habits) - with a full band, heralding his philosophical delivery of songs full of gentle acceptance, and purified positivity.
