As laid-back and inviting as the sandy shores of West Michigan from which he hails, singer/songwriter Jeremy Hoekstra’s casual style bids listeners to be at ease while still compelling them to note his lyrical depth and artistic prowess. Terry Deboer of Spotlight Magazine writes, “Jeremy Hoekstra…often has a light-hearted manner …but he also has a serious side that points to his desire to produce quality art with integrity.” Hoekstra’s “desire to produce quality art” can be seen in how he has fused his love for simple, thoughtful music, like that of influences such as Glen Phillips, Nickel Creek and James Taylor, with his passion for the melodic rock sounds of Toad the Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossoms, Mat Kearney, Coldplay, Counting Crows and Travis. In all of his work, Hoekstra’s easy voice and clear melodies weave effortlessly through his medley of eclectic instrumentation that nods at influences rooted not only in ‘90s rock and roll, but also in jazz, folk, bluegrass, and pop.
