Recorded in Midtown Memphis, TN on a breezy afternoon, Write Now is possibly Jed’s most honest and true moment to date as a singer songwriter. Combining the muddy Mississippi Delta with the majestic mountains of the southwest, Jed is quickly becoming hailed as a troubadour talent comparable to the best of the last 30+ years. Originally from Memphis, TN, Jed has been a nationally touring act for the better part of this decade. It is in the Texas and Southwest area however, that he finds himself most at home.
His previously self-released works (Lose to Win, 2005) and (Songs to Take Home, 2007)
were recorded and produced by legendary Memphis songsmith and mentor Keith Sykes.
Songs to Take Home landed in the number two spot on XM Radio's X Country Chart and
gathered 4 out of 4 stars in Memphis' Commercial Appeal. Both recordings produced
a stable of original songs, which have been recorded and performed by many other
artists.
Now, living in the artist driven community of Taos, New Mexico, Jed has recorded a
new EP Write Now being released this fall on MADJACK Records. Write Now is a stripped
down acoustic approach, epitomizing Jed’s true worth as a writer devoted to his craft.
"Jed Zimmerman is one of my favorite songwriters. I recorded his song
Texas New Mexico Line on my latest release High Road to Taos. Jed
has a way of capturing the feel of the southwest. He is an incredible singer and his songs move me like no one else I've heard in a long time"- Michael Hearne
"Jed's songwriting perspective takes a panoramic view that makes mountains out of molehills and molehills out of mountains" - Susan Gibson
" With covers from artist as diverse as bluegrass to pop and country, It's easy to see why Jed is becoming one of the leading songwriters of his generation. Texas New Mexico Line and Joe are among his most requested songs" - Keith Sykes
"Jed is a better songwriter than I was at that age, and I've been doing this for 35 years. He's a rarity in the profession, the real deal" - Grammy Award winning Singer/Songwriter, Richard Leigh

Thanks for the add. The songs I write are a reflection of my life. The lyrics, like an unveiled biography. My inspiration comes from my children, mi familia, and the woman I loved (may she rest in peace). I give them and everyone who inspires me, my heart and friendship...Sign the guest book if you get a chance......Peace n Love, Miguel
