It's been a long road for the Nashville based singer/songwriter, who paid his dues in a multitude of ways before landing his break with Parallel Records and JP Williams, the manager of Larry the Cable Guy. At 23, while working as an afternoon DJ and music director of a Spokane radio station, Jeremy met “Cable Guy,” who was so impressed with Jeremy's smarts and savvy that he hired him to come on the road as his tour manager. Williams was also impressed with Jeremy's music and signed him to a subsequent management/record deal. They charted three singles from his debut album including the ballad, "This Town Needs A Bar," the heart wrenching "Cold" and "Wagon Wheel," with videos on CMT & GAC.
Jeremy also contributed several of his original songs to movie soundtracks during this period, including the theme songs for the Grammy-nominated "Blue Collar Comedy Tour Rides Again," "Blue Collar One More For The Road," two songs on the "Health Inspector" movie soundtrack and the “credits” song for the movie "Bait Shop" starring Billy Ray Cyrus & Bill Engvall. Impressively, his songs have appeared on projects with combined sales totaling over six million.
Following his run with Parallel, Jeremy stepped back from the business to concentrate fully on his songwriting and rededicate himself to his music, while he continued performing and touring around the country, opening for artists like Sugarland, Montgomery Gentry and Trace Adkins. He also captured the top spot on MySpace for an unsigned country artist.
Jeremy found a sort of peace in the process this time around and settled in, focusing fully on expressing who he is and what he's about. The result are songs like the breezy and sweet, "Easy As Breathin," which he co-penned with Grammy nominated writer / producer Kevin Kadish, and "Cherry Chapstick," which takes us all back to those fun, innocent days of a first kiss. The new material is a departure from the hard-livin’ & rowdy, take-no-prisoner days of his earlier years that Jeremy is relieved to be seeing from his rear-view.
"I was in a different place on my first record...lyrically, mood-wise, just everything. Now I feel like my focus is clearer. It’s a natural progression for an artist to change from record to record and I think I've found a happy medium of all of my influences and of who I am now musically,” says McComb. “I'm proud of my first record and I'm also proud when I listen to it that I can see that I've grown. I'm still just writing what I know.” I've got a song called "Lived In," which is about exactly where I'm at in my life,” McComb says.
