I am proud to announce that A Damn Good Ride will hit I-tunes and store shelves on September 22, 2009.  

 I am sincerely grateful for the help that I have received piecing this intangible puzzle together.  

The CD release party will be held here in Austin, TX, on the 25th of September.

 

 

 


“It's a Damn Good Ride, the cold beer's on ice,

And we're coming home to Austin town tonight!”

                                                                          

It’s a Damn Good Ride

Be ON IT

 

 

 

Jeremy Steding in the Cherokee Village Recording Studio

 

 

Why did I record another album?

 

My chief aim is to share my love for music with the world, and establish myself among the great Texas and “Alternative Country” songwriters/musicians. With my lyrics, I am able to share my unique outlook on the world and interpretation of life today. It is my passion and talent for making people happy and moving them emotionally through song which has helped me become a highly respected singer/songwriter, in one of the most thriving and largest music markets in the world.

 

I recorded a new album that captures the sounds and feelings that people fall in love with when they watch a live performance.  I can create a marketable product that outweighs the sales pitch, and believe you and I will make money selling and promoting my music.
