Jeremiah frequently performs at festivals and theatres throughout North America & Europe with his Juno Award winning group “The McDades” as well as collaborating and recording with a wide variety of artists. He can be heard on dozens of recordings and soundtracks and he has been a featured soloist on several occasions with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and the Calgary Philharmonic. With one foot planted in the rich tradition of the saxophone, the other is firmly planted in the contemporary modality of jazz. “Incredibly talented” (Stephen Reineke, The New York Pops Orchestra) “Reminiscent of Rollins or Coltrane, and indeed his note choices remind you at times of both saxophonists.” (The Art Music Lounge) “The Tenor Sax rises from the ground to up in the sky and piano and drums follow the saxophone, great dynamics, great solo and my highlight of the album.” (Michael’s Jazz Blog) “The Dizzy Gillespie of the Irish Tim Whistle.” (Gail Wein, the Washington Post.)
