Jeremy Messersmith’s first full-length release, The Alcatraz Kid (Princess Records, 2006) was marked by a wide-eyed clarity and sweet, straightforward musicianship that resulted in critical acclaim and a growing live following. Songs like “Novocain” and “Beautiful Children” garnered local radio play and the attention of Minneapolis stalwart and Grammy Winner Dan Wilson (Trip Shakespeare, Semisonic) who offered to produce Jeremy’s next disc.
The resulting collaboration is The Silver City. Part homage to the twinkling pop vistas of The Beach Boys and the sixties, part incisive take on the hopes that push us to the everyday commute, The Silver City pushes Messersmith’s precise lyrics conceptually and expands the scope of his sound. Although The Silver City takes its title from the Minneapolis skyline, it inhabits a universal geography, one that this man from the country refuses to take at face value. With the celebratory track “Light Rail” already in rotation and in demand on local radio, and Jeremy’s cover of The Replacement’s “Skyway,” a concert favorite, expect The Silver City to both cement Messersmith’s reputation as a musician and songwriter locally, and to launch him nationally as he tours this fall.

I have to tell you.. "Love you to pieces" and "Beautiful Children" are two of my top five songs. Also, I sketched a picture of you out of boredom.. but it won't let me upload it.
Blood Root Mother will be playing at Trocaderos in Minneapolis on Friday, June 26th. I cannot stress enough how awesome this show will be. We're playing with three of the sweetest local rock bands: Claret, Niobium and Casanatra. If you haven't heard these guys, check them out immediately! Please come to this show!!
I recommend coming during happy hour for two for one drinks along with free buffet, which is delicious. We'll be hanging out at Trocs all night, so come by and chill/party with us :)
Please come out and support some great local music! Music starts at 9:30pm and we should go on around midnight. Invite your friends, pile into a car (or a party bus), and together we will make this one of the highlights of the summer :)
