Have I mentioned that sometimes I write music to pitch to film, TV, and video games? So far I have mostly pitched through Taxi, which is an independent A&R company that is kind of a go-between for songwriters and…

Lucky Breaks has been chosen by the “Unrecorded” music blog to feature on their Best New Tracks list. They share the song on their website, and for a while, on their spotify playlist as well. Check it out!

Golden Indie Waves is a curator playlist on Spotify, part of the “Golden Hour” collection. Lucky Breaks is now featured there, at least for the next few weeks!

Eba! I just learned that Lucky Breaks will be featured on the late-night "Sound Wave Therapy" show on Brazil's Radio Armazem. 

The show airs at midnight (Sao Paolo time zone) on Sunday morning, so personally I will be getting my…

I just released a lyric video for “Lucky Breaks” on YouTube! The background image is the same one from the cover art for the release. It's a photo of the heat-resistant tiles on the bottom of the space shuttle Discovery…

I used to be in an alt-folk band called Dog Legs & Feet - I've written extensively here about my 2023 project to refurbish and release our first album. 

So far, DLF hasn't had its own website, I've just had…

OK people! I'm releasing my first single on Dec. 6. It's called “Lucky Breaks.” Actually, a nuance: it's releasing on all the big streaming services that day, but actually, I've already made it available on my website and you can…

Okay, it's official! I'm now creating music under the artist name Tallfellow. Nice to meet you!

I renamed my website to www.tallfellowmusic.com and updated my YouTube channel, SoundCloud, Disco, and social media to the name Tallfellow. 

I'm also claiming…

Hi there! My name is Jeremy Edwards. For the past three years or so, I have been making music under the name Jerome Freely (or Jerome Freely Band), but I think I'm going to shift away from that. At least…

I wrote "Gritty City Strut" in March 2024. I was going for a pitch opportunity that was looking for funky vintage 70s Afrobeat-style instrumental jazz like Fela Kuti and Hugh Masekela. I used to listen to a lot of that…

I've, uh, heard, that if you were around in the very early days of MTV, you might remember a time when the song "TVOD" by The Normal felt like it was being played a million times a day.  

If you…

I shared a demo version of my original song "We're in the Place" a few weeks ago. Here's what happened when I showed up at The What Have You open mic and asked for a band to come up and…

Part of the reason I've been creating so much music lately is that I'm trying to teach myself to write for film & TV. That requires being able to produce something 1) quickly, 2) at professional quality, and 3) to…

I have this condition where I am always trying to play songs in a different genre from their original recordings.  

Normally, innocent people are not affected.  But I recently discovered this live-band open mic called The What Have You, where…

I have been really focused on writing and recording for a while now, and have not been playing in public all that much. But I recently discovered this awesome open mic called The What Have You, where they provide all…

"Sugar High" was the first tune I made for the weekly Song Writing and Recording Challenge I've been part of for the past several months. I did this one in August of 2023. 

It's a fun, sparkly, kinda retro instrumental…

Folks, I want you to know there's more going on than just instrumental rock anthems here on the Jerome Freely channel! Today we bring you an original [checks notes] indie R&B track, called "We're in the Place."

Like most of…

What makes scary music scary? That's what I was thinking about when I created this piece, which I made in response to a one-week songwriting & recording challenge where the prompt was "fear."  

I started by listing the things I…

I've always wanted to get better at guitar solos. Back in the 90s when I was in Dog Legs & Feet, I played lead guitar in the band but I never really felt like I knew what to do for…

I wrote "Big Signal" just for fun, when I was supposed to be working on something else. 

I was trying to do one of those write-and-record-it-in-a-week challenges that I've been posting about, but this was not the song I was…

I wrote this rock instrumental for a Sync or Swim Song Writing and Recording Challenge in September 2023. In SWARC you have one week to write and record a song or instrumental based on an emotional prompt. This particular week's…

I wrote this song in November 2023 for a Song Writing and Recording Challenge (SWARC for short) in the Sync Or Swim songwriters' group. The prompt was to write and record a song in a week that conveys the emotion…

Have you ever gotten a word stuck in your head and it suddenly sounds like you've never heard it before? That was what got me started on this song. I got stuck on the word "particularly" and how cool &amp…

I mentioned before that I was working on a bunch of new music as part of the sync licensing group that I joined. I said I would update on how its going, didn't I?

It's been great! I've written a…
