Jeremy Moyers grew up in West Texas in a deeply musical family. From an early age, he was surrounded by working musicians, recording studios and live performances. Music was simply part of everyday life.
Growing up around working musicians, Jeremy learned early that making music was about more than playing an instrument. His father's recording studios gave him a firsthand look at sessions, engineering, producing, arranging and the process of making records.
By 15, Jeremy was already gigging. He played his first recording session at 16, and by 17 was engineering sessions on records involving artists and musicians including Delbert McClinton, Don Wise and Bugs Henderson. Working on both sides of the glass gave him an understanding of recording and production years before either became a formal part of his career.
That early experience in live performance, session work and recording still shapes the way Jeremy works today as a multi-instrumentalist, session musician and producer.
Jeremy learned early that the best way to understand the job was to do it — gigging, playing sessions, engineering, producing and spending time around working musicians.
That hands-on experience gave him a practical understanding of how records get made, how bands work and what it takes to contribute at a professional level.
In August 1997, Jeremy moved to Nashville to join BNA recording artist Lonestar. What followed was a major new chapter — national touring, television, awards shows and some of the biggest stages in country music.
From August 1997 through December 2005, Jeremy toured with Lonestar, playing pedal steel, lap steel, Dobro, guitar, banjo and mandolin during one of the band's most visible periods.
The eight years Jeremy spent with Lonestar gave him a firsthand look at much more than life on the road. Along with touring, television and promotion, he was around the recording process as the band made records with producer Dann Huff. He watched Huff work in the studio and saw how the process began long before recording — including time on the bus listening through stacks of CDs filled with songs that had been pitched to the band as they narrowed down what might make the next album.
Jeremy wasn’t making those decisions, but being close to that process taught him a great deal about how records come together — from choosing the songs to recording them in the studio.
Today, Jeremy's work moves between the road and the studio. He tours with William Clark Green, is part of The Panhandlers touring band, is a member of Cooder Graw, and continues to work with Josh Abbott Band and other artists across the Texas music scene.
In the studio, he works as both a session musician and producer, playing sessions and producing records from the songs outward.
