I Don't Understand These People?!

[@RainyDayDevils]

I've been working with Steel Beans for a decade, Jeremy is my favorite producer to work with, my best friend and a brother. I have been over the moon seeing him get the recognition he much deserves. Salmonella Records is a small label but it's got huge talent.

[@DMDvideo10]

Huge is a good choice of words...

[@Vina_Ravyn]

Jeremy USED to be America's best kept secret. Great that he's blowing up. I was a drummer in Steel Beans 2016-2019 when he had a 10 piece band full horn line. My point - I consider myself a pretty fluid drummer and I had to tell him I'll get close to what your playing on the recordings lol. You should see him play drums with two sticks lol. On his recordings unless other musicians are mentioned it's all him. The man is one sexy musical genius. If he hears a part for his song on say a violin he will get a violin learn the part and then play it himself. Talent beyond talent. He will make up songs on the spot. And funny. OMG he could be a comedian if he chose to lol. Talent beyond talent.

[@redfalcon9]

It's amazing how most multi-instrumentalists have an amazing sense of humor as well. Everything you've said about Jeremy is exuded in what he posts across social media. I'm glad to hear firsthand that he's genuinely what he puts forth as a brand.

It's not triplets, it's an eighth note two sixteenth notes and a final note on the down beat. This pattern repeated is often referred to as a gallop.

Cheers Justin! So happy to see this fine gentlemen blowing up… I had the pleasure of hearing this phenomenon in a dive bar back in 2016… I was blown away by the performance, and it was criminal how no one in the bar gave a fuck. 6 years later, and my favorite frontman and music commentator is discussing the prowess of steel beans. Goes to show dreams can come true 😁

Been binging your channel for months now and have been loving every minute. Really stoked to see you watch some stuff like this. Even more obscure than "indie" music i suppose but Steel Beans is gaining recognition by the minute and too see your content cross streams with his is super exciting. Much love!

Two piece band called Crown Lands (canadian) really impressive as well. I seen them touring with Jack White, the guitarist (sometimes bassist) plays guitar while playing bass with those foot controllers like organ foot pedals. The drummer is the singer and has quite a good voice, i remember thinking robert plant a little but not like greta's imitative thing. And somehow he's playing these intricate things on drums while doing all that. Good song to start with may be their recent hit White Buffalo.

Back in 1999 I owned a blues club in Ontario Canada. We had an “open stage” on Wednesday nights and Saturday afternoons. We had a regular “jammer” who played drums, bass and sang at the same time! And……he covered Beatle songs! He was amazing! Peace
